[Intro] Quarter closes Friday night Red numbers waiting on the right Maxwell lays the folder down And lets the golden edges shine [Verse] "Victor, I would hate to see This opportunity expire Regional approval came this morning Just before I joined the wire Thirty seats at founder pricing Gone the moment we don't sign" The board begins to whisper Finance turns the pages blind [Pre-Chorus] No one reads a moving target No one checks a closing door When the discount has a heartbeat And the clock demands some more [Chorus] Sign before the quarter ends Sign before the number bends Sign before the offer dies Trust the future, trust your friends There'll be time to comprehend Just sign before the quarter ends [Verse] Mara reaches for the schedule "Where's the exit clause defined?" Maxwell slides a summary toward her "With respect, we're short on time" Klaus is scanning page two-forty Where the type turns faint and small Victor says, "We cannot lose this" And nobody reads it all [Pre-Chorus] Every question costs a minute Every minute kills the deal Urgency can turn a warning Into something less than real [Chorus] Sign before the quarter ends Sign before the number bends Sign before the offer dies Trust the future, trust your friends There'll be time to comprehend Just sign before the quarter ends [Guitar Break] [Bridge] The drums pull back, the bass walks on A legal clock approaches dawn Maxwell counts: one for savings Seven for the choice you make [Build-up] The pages turn, the room grows warm The pen lies quiet before the storm Mara says, "Delay one day" Victor looks the other way Maxwell whispers, "The bold move never waits" [Final Chorus] Sign before the quarter ends Sign the clause no one defends Sign the modules not yet named Buy the platform, rent the fence Three hundred pages, signed unread Long after the quarter ends [Outro] Silver pen on golden grain Victor signs the company name Maxwell closes up the case Quarter saved across his face The organ rolls, the guitars run The deal is closed. The trap's begun.
