The Answering Machine |
We flew here to see you |
My feelings and I |
I looked down on the city |
From up in the sky |
The sun was reflecting |
From the roofs and the water |
Spring had come early |
In the parks and the old town |
I came with a mission |
To patch up a dream |
We walked and I talked and my words were absorbed |
Into the answering machine |
I came two thousand miles |
Just to take a look at you |
But you were broken and frozen |
A heartbreak of a statue |
In the bullet-proof mirrors |
Where your eyes used to be |
I stared at myself and I called for some help |
Into the answering machine |
The day slipped by and I tried and tried |
You took me home and you said |
«Goodnight, Sleep tight» |
On the floor by the bedroom door |
I watched you sleep and I left before first light |
The bugs don’t bite |
The bugs don’t bite |
The bugs bite |
From the land of the frozen |
To the land of the low |
We journeyed together |
But we were always alone |
So if I should come calling |
Best not pick up the phone |
Cause I’m no good for you and you’re no good for me |
Let me talk to the answering machine |
I can cope with the answering machine |
I’m a friend of the answering machine |
