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
