Not Again

You can't take it all back if I burn the receipts

As the soot falls down around the answering machine

Not again where's the solace

You pretend that it's not over

And I think that I should be going

The clock is perpetually slowing

Banish the homework with a sigh and a yawn

As the bulb above burns out I turn the stereo on

Not again where's the solace

You pretend that it's not over

And I think that I should be going

The clock is perpetually slowing

Not again where's the solace

You pretend that it's not over

And I know that I won't be staying

And the song will perpetually stop playing

You're like a broken record player

You always talk in your sleep

You won't stop spinning around

I'm beginning to think

You're like a broken record player

Of course you were

Now I must put you back in your sleeve

And you should save your receipts

And the soot still falls around the answering machine

Not again where's the solace

You pretend that it's not over

And I think that I should be going

The clock is perpetually slowing

Not again where's the solace

You pretend that it's not over

And I know that I won't be staying

And the song will perpetually stop playing
