lyrics

She left me a message
On the telephone
Impersonal as she could be
"I can't see you this weekend
'Cause I won't be home"
And then she hung up on me

Some other time
Some other time
The truth is so hard to bear
And I sit here in tears
'Cause I know what goes on
When someone denies that they don't care

My best friend I know
Is in town today
And I'm gonna get drunk with him
Gonna stalk to old house
Where my father sleeps
Laughing at the shape we're in

I'm going to the doctor
To check myself out
And see exactly what is wrong
The reasons are there
Somewhere in memory
Something's been buried too long

There's nothing to say
'Cause it won't go away
Until it makes it's kill
And great expectations
Keep letting me down
On the other side of the hill
