The Answering Machine: It's over, It's over, It's over
(Play Verse) I'm everything that I claim to be, Just lace my head with drink for honesty. My hearts out of bounds, and you're out of town So hurry up and keep it simple.
(Play Break) Just hold me tight, Cause we've got time.
(Play Chorus) And she said Oh, I'm sorry for what I did, She took me down the halls and spires, the telephone wires. And she said Oh, I'm sorry for what I did, And she told me its over, its over, its over.
(Intro) I'm not as smart as I'd like to think, but I'm young. I'm not as smart as I'd like to think, but I'm young. And it's over
(Break)
(Verse) People have no rights, they have great wrongs, Bands have no rights, they only have great songs. Don't use big words coz they mean so little, Just hurry up and keep it simple.
(Break) Just hold me tight, Cause we've got time.
(Chorus) And she said Oh, I'm sorry for what I did, She took me down the halls and spires, the telephone wires. And she said Oh, I'm sorry for what I did, And she told me it's over, it's over, it's over.
(intro) I'm not as smart as I'd like to think, but I'm young. It's over!
