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 townI came with a mission to patch up a dream

We walked and I talked and my words were absorbed

Into the answering machineI came two thousand miles, just to take a look at you

But you were broken and frozen, a heartbreak of a statueIn 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 machineThe 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 lightThe bugs don't bite, the bugs don't bite

The bugs don't bite, the bugs biteFrom 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 meLet 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
