Jandek - When The Telphone Melts lyrics

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
