Common Rotation - Answering Machine Lyrics
Well let's stop pretendingThis is not a nerve endingWe've touched on beforeLike a delicate dancefloorWhen what was once excitingHas now gone out the windowKicking and bitingLike a decrepit dog of warThat has wits about himToo determined to imploreToo deluded to ask forThat hand that let him out the front doorThis side of the phone lineIt's a reflex to rewindWhen the context is a confineNo matter what you sayYou're an answering machineThis side of the phone lineIt's a reflex to rewindWhen the context is a confineNo matter what you sayYou're an answering machineWell now you're in troubleYou believe you're seeing doubleThose nightstand eyes and pillow furyI hate to burst your bubbleBut this humiliation it's cracked your [?skin name?]Timing frustration with a face-full of strainWhile squinting at the poetryAnd all the words in the nightKeeping the light offThe mirror where the pages lieThis side of the phone lineIt's a reflex to rewindWhen the context is a confineNo matter what you sayYou're an answering machineThis side of the phone lineIt's a reflex to rewindWhen the context is a confineNo matter what you sayYou're an answering machineLet's stop flashing this madnessTo accompany the thunderHey the hissing sound of sadnessBut remember I have your numberThis side of the phone lineIt's a reflex to rewindWhen the context is a confineNo matter what you sayYou're an answering machineThis side of the phone lineIt's a reflex to rewindWhen the context is a confineNo matter what you sayYou're an answering machinex3Yeah yeahLa la la la, lalalalalalalaYeah yeahLa la la la, lalalalalalala
