I think the drink, drink, drink sounds like a better solution.

Picture a white web page loading, loading free
Dizzy with eternity.
Programmed with functionality, easiest to see

Call it home for you and me.

A peaceful place or so it looks from cyberspace
A closer look reveals the subscriber base.
Full of hope, full of grace, is the subscriber base.
But afraid, no Dryers may lay our home to waste.

There's a fear down here we can't forget hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down.

Now watch as the site erodes and the market falls
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
By and by again, the market will rise
But the darkness never goes from the CEO's eyes.

It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Stalking turf, dividing up meat.
Nightmare spook, piece of heat, you and me, you and me.
Click, flashblade in ghetto night. Naveen's looking for a fight.
Rat cat alley roll them bones. Need that cash to feed that jones
And SIers throwing cyberstones
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.

Infospace officers roll the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price.
Investor green or proletarian gray, dilutive paper instead of bonds today.
So investors post, they shake their bones
SIers throwing cyberstones
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.

Heartless posterss try to tell us what to think
If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink.
History's page, it is thusly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own.

On our own
We are on our own
We are on our own ...

If the game is lost then what a shame
Naveen I'll be left, but will he take the blame?
We can leave this place an empty stone
Or some semblance of the Dryer place that became our home

So investors post, they shake their bones
SIers throwing cyberstones
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.

Moving estimates back and forth
Earnings south and losses north
And the whole site full of petty wars
Singing "I got mine and you got yours."

And the current winners set the pace.
Lose a step, fall out of grace.
And the members rant and show their rage,
Singing "someone got to turn the page"

And management in their summer homes,
Singing "Just leave well enough alone"
But their pants are down, their cover's blown

And SIers throwing cyberstones
So investors post, they shake their bones
Cause its all too clear we're on our own
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.

Picture a white webpage loading, loading free
It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down
