When the telephone melts
|
And it’s still ringing your name
|
When your shoes got holes
|
And the sidewalk’s not the same
|
And you’re falling down
|
Then you can think about your mother
|
Yes, and you can think about your friends
|
But you can’t blame me for not being around
|
You know I told you long ago
|
Before you grew so old
|
That I wasn’t made for claws falling on my face
|
I say you knew it was a jungle
|
And I was a man, had a place to go
|
If you can’t go with me
|
Then I just don’t know
|
But I’ve thought about your humor
|
When you laughed in my face
|
You know I didn’t mind
|
When you stood on my hand
|
And then I turned the tables around
|
I thought it just another day
|
I thought you saw it my way
|
But oh, to my surprise
|
There’s a difference in your eyes
|
And I thought it hard to find you
|
Say you wandered astray
|
Say you think you’ll find a way
|
But you can joke about me baby
|
Yeah, you can say my name in vain
|
Say my name in vain
|
