Stefan Rune Olsson - The Extra Lyrics

When they say it'll cost you extra
The extra is never in cash
Instead it's a leash upon your soul
Keeping you dangling over the hole
Holding your feet to the burning coal

As your hands you ring
And your teeth you gnash
As they drag your leash
And they haul you back
Because the extra is never in cash

Extra - it will cost you
Extra - it will cost you
Extra - but never in cash

What they mean when they say it'll cost you
You're weaving your own special noose
There in the dark for a lifeline you grope
Surrender your passionate grasp on hope
Regretting forever you didn't say nope

As your hands they clutch
But it won't come loose
And you finally get
That you've woven your own special noose.
Cuz the extra is never in cash

Extra - it will cost you
Extra - it will cost you
Extra - but never in cash

Our worlds will crumble, it's what they do
Pick up the pieces, make something new
Stop trying to keep it from coming apart
The faster it fails, a quicker new start

They said it would cost you extra
You thought they wouldn't ask much
But they buried a hook inside the seed
Then reeled you into some dastardly deed
A cut at a time they will make you bleed

And your hands you ring
And you cry 'too much!'
But they tell you No
It isn't enough
And the extra is never in cash

Extra - it will cost you
Extra - it will cost you
Extra - but never in cash
