Asking Price Lyrics
It came delivered on a frozen rope
Indecision antidote
The frame is narrow, can't you see?
Paralyzed, no clarity
Too busy putzing 'round the internet
Revel in the disconnect
Their extortion is way too dear
The extortion is way too dear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap again
We're unevolving have you heard of us?
Virtual unvirtuous
A game of faro, can't you see?
Bastardized biology
This is the story of a man gone sad
Trapped inside a chaos tag
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap
Indecision antidote
The frame is narrow, can't you see?

The extortion is way too dear

I'm not gonna bait that trap again
We're unevolving have you heard of us?

A game of faro, can't you see?
Bastardized biology
This is the story of a man gone sad
Trapped inside a chaos tag
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
The distortion is way too clear
Many opportunities come rolling off your lap
I'm not gonna bait that trap

The nerdy musician in me wants it to be, "This is the story of a man gone sad/Trapped inside a Kaoss Pad," just because that device has distortion (among other effects) in it, which is a nice lead into the next lines about the distortion. But this could very well just be wishful thinking on my part.
He absolutely said Kaoss Pad. Stephen Malkmus is a nerdy musician too, y'know.

He clearly says "pad" and not "tag" (and pad makes sense in the rhyme scheme; tag doesn't). So I'm sure you're right about the Kaoss too.
