|
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 bulletproof mirrors where your eyes used to be |
|
I stared at myself and I called for some help |
|
Into the answering machine, into the answering machine |
|
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 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 |
|
I'm a friend, I'm a friend, I'm a friend, I'm a friend |
