|
(Verse) Well, you said that you would call me |
|
And you didn't call me |
|
I gave you up for dead |
|
And I was working on a backbone |
|
Chiseling a tombstone |
|
When you called me up and said |
|
Through a wall of heavy breathing |
|
You thought it was relieving |
|
To be out on your own |
|
How a voice that used to fill me |
|
Cut me up and kill me |
|
On the fucking telephone (Chorus) |
|
You did not even send me airborne, anyway |
|
Why in the world |
|
I hung around, it's hard to say (Verse) |
|
Well, it was just another |
|
Thursday Like any other |
|
Thursday Except that we were through |
|
We were wading in the concrete |
|
Digging through the scrap heap |
|
Deciding what belonged to who |
|
And all the treasure from the good days |
|
Was going through the last phase |
|
Of yours and yours and mine |
|
When something from the yours pile |
|
Shattered on the floor tile |
|
And you went off like |
|
Frankenstein (Chorus x2) |
|
You did not even send me airborne, anyway |
|
Why in the world |
|
I hung around, it's hard to say (Verse) |
|
I think it's clear that |
|
I adore you |
|
I didn't mean to bore you |
|
Or grind it in so deep |
|
I had to place another call |
|
Didn't think that you would fall in |
|
With the company you keep |
|
And you tell me that you love me |
|
But you don't really love me |
|
You remind me every day |
|
When you're living on the flood plain |
|
It doesn't take a hard rain |
|
To wash it all away (Chorus x2) |
|
You did not even send me airborne, anyway |
|
Why in the world |
|
I hung around, it's hard to say |
