The Replacements — Answering Machine lyrics

Lyrics

Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hopenever 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 it's losers
Small town's got it's vices
A handful of friends
One needs a matchone 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
OhI hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine…
