answering machine


the phone's been ringing all day
with thirty nine missed messages
and a utility bill to pay
I drag myself in and out of
something that does not exist

the phone's been ringing all day
I shouldn't drag you into this

sit in a darkroom bleaching
the pictures you've kept
for a month and a half except
this time you're teaching
me a lesson on your behalf

the phone's been ringing all day
how many times do I have to tell you
I don't care and I'm not gonna stay
