Answering Machine

1, 2, 3, 4

Try to breathe some life into a letter

Losing hope, never gonna be together

My courage is at it's peak

You know what I mean

How do say you're O.K. to

An answering machine?

How do you say good night to

An answering machine?

Big town's got its losers

Small town's got its vices

A handful of friends

One needs a match, one needs some ice

Call-waiting phone in another time zone

How do you say I miss you to

An answering machine?

How do say good night to

An answering machine?

I get enough of that

Try to free a slave of ignorance

Try and teach a whore about romance

How do you say I miss you to

An answering machine?

How do you say good night to

An answering machine?

How do you say I'm lonely to

An answering machine?

The message is very plain

Oh, I hate your answering machine

I hate your answering machine

I hate your answering machine...
