Extra Executives lyrics

Artist  : Jane Siberry 
Song : Extra Executives
 
blowing kisses off his face 
like flies --- like little flies 
blowing like a grouper fish 
floating through the reefs  
 
his card says executive 
but it mumbles just a salesman 
he`s not sure just who you are 
but you might be a good connection  
 
extra executives with a general desire 
extra executives with a general desire 
general desire 
general desire 
he took a course in sales 
he`s never been the same  
 
a certain way to do things 
respect for expectations 
his bank gets a promotion 
but his brain gets a vacation  
 
he`s looking over your shoulder 
at the party for a person 
who will change his life 
reward him somehow 
hey... I`m talking to you  
 
extra executives...  
 
one time...  
 
everything`s an exercise 
for the extra executive 
he`s not sure just who you are 
but you might be a good connection  
 
blowing kisses off his face 
like flies --- like little flies 
blowing like a grouper fish 
floating through the reefs  
 
waiting for that special deal in the sky 
that he never has to trade in  
 
the telephone call that never comes 
the letter`s not in the letter box 
the handshake that will close the deal 
the telegram that will change his life  
 
extra executives with a general desire 
extra executives with a general desire 
general desire 
general desire 
he took a course in sales 
he`s never been the same
