When you walk around, you know you feel okay   Although you had some mornings that make you cry   You took 'em lying down   You took ?em, oh, so hard      And when you call the phone and talk to me and explain   I try to hark the words and not obey   They came out wrong   And I was back where I started      There is only one person that talks that way   And you use imagination in the back of the cab   You took it all the way   Home to my empty room      Well, I remember that expression for the rest of my life   My answer to the party line, up in and go get her   Reach inside my kitchen for that old carving knife   To mess up all my people, make 'em see a little redder, hey      When I do my dirt, will you stand up high   And tell me how you got to be this way   I listened all the time   I wait around so long      And if you ever thought of dying to kill yourself   Like a tired old record you get played out   And you'll be on your own   Buried in the ground      Well, I remember that expression for the rest of my life   My answer to the party line, up in and go get her   Reach inside my kitchen for that old carving knife   To mess up all the people, make 'em see a little better, hey      Woke up with a new song   Woke up with a tightrope   Living room is empty   Did you even miss me?      I knew about the last time   This could be the last time   Smoke going up the chimney   Can I take you with me?      Living room is empty   Dead with the memory   I can't get over now   Roll over now      If you ever thought of dying to kill yourself   Like a tired old record you get played out   And you'll be on your own   Buried in the ground
