Answering Machine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got your number and my hand is on the phone
I drop a quarter but there's no one home
I need assistance, seems like all the lines are down
I'm waiting for something but there's not a sound
I get no answers, I just get busy signals
Can't seem to make connections in between
I'm looking for contact, I'm so tired of talking to
An answering machine
An answering machine
I need information, I can't hear you through the wire
My heart is freezin' but my brain's on fire
I got a bad connection, the circuits fill to overload
I gotta get through before my head explodes
I get no answers, I just get busy signals
I'm lookin' for something that I've never seen
I'm need some contact, I'm so tired of talking to
An answering machine
An answering machine
