Costello

Takin up my time again
The one thing I can't stand
Coffee and the conversation never ends
When all I really need to find
Is one short clever line
To pinpoint my disgust
It's always just too much or not enough
And I'm overwhelmed...
So, I'll keep it simple for obvious reasons
And I'll say what I should and just hope you believe me
But, it never gets easier
Oh, it never gets easier...
Oh, no, no...
Singin to myself again
Can't hear a word you've said
The syllables, the sounds just are in sentences
And all I really wanna do
Is tear straight into you
Explode, unload a hail of insults 'til you finally get it
I'm sick to death...
But, I'll keep it simple for obvious reasons
And I'll say what I should and just hope you believe me
But, it never gets easier
No, it never gets easier...
Oh, no, no...
A strong distaste for confrontation
Leaves no room for self-expression
Such a strain to remain so docile
Oh, don't you know it all takes its toll...
I'll keep it simple for obvious reasons
And I'll say what I should and just hope you believe me
But, it never gets easier
No, it never gets easier
Oh, it never gets easier
Well, it never gets easier
No, it never gets easier
Oh, it never gets easier...
