Lyrics of Answering machine

Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never be again
My courage is at it's peak
You know what i mean

How do say you're, "okay" to an answering machine?
How do you say, "good night" to an answering machine?

Big time'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
I hate your answering machine
