It's Reciprocal Lyrics

Recorded October 14, 1996 at Polypterus Studio in Ithaca, New York

hoarding turns allure to discontent
altruism's a grind all its own
morning makes you know your inner self
but love is just as pure as you both because
it's reciprocal, it's reciprocal
it's reciprocal, it's reciprocal

when true love is metaphysical
venal desires we learn to beset
you and me we've got a special thing
but I want you to never forget
it's reciprocal, it's reciprocal
it's reciprocal, it's reciprocal

each bedtime I stir with regret 
guilty and vain, hoping for retribution
charity's immune from my demands
I don't expect a thing from the weak 
but you my love are measured and compared
predisposed to my profane decree
it's reciprocal, it's reciprocal
it's reciprocal, it's reciprocal
