Album | Telegraph Melts |
woman: When the telegraph melts | |
And it’s still ringing your name | |
When your shoes got holes in them | |
And the sidewalk’s not the same | |
And you’re falling down | |
Then you can think about your mother | |
You can think about your friends | |
But you can’t blame me for not being around | |
You know I told you long ago | |
Before you grew so old | |
That I wasn’t meant for claws falling on my face | |
I see you knew it was a jungle | |
I was a woman had a place to go | |
If you can’t come with me then | |
I just don’t know | |
But I’m wondering about your humor | |
You know I didn’t mind | |
When you laughed in my face | |
You know I didn’t mind | |
When you stood on my head | |
And then I turned the tables around | |
Jandek: I thought it just another day | |
I thought you saw it my way | |
But to my surprise | |
There’s a difference in your eyes woman: | |
I find it hard to find you | |
Say you want an ashtray | |
Say you think you found a way | |
Well, you can joke about me baby | |
You can say my name in vain |

And it' s still ringing your name | |
When your shoes got holes in them | |
And the sidewalk' s not the same | |
And you' re falling down | |
Then you can think about your mother | |
You can think about your friends | |
But you can' t blame me for not being around | |
You know I told you long ago | |
Before you grew so old | |
That I wasn' t meant for claws falling on my face | |
