Telegraph Melts lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jandek
Album: Telegraph Melts

Lyrics

Woman:
When the telegraph melts
And it's still ringing your name
When your shoes got holes in them
And the sidewalk's not the same
And you're falling down
Then you can think about your mother
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 meant for claws falling on my face
I see you knew it was a jungle
I was a woman had a place to go
If you can't come with me then I just don't know
But i'm wondering about your humor
You know I didn't mind
When you laughed in my face
You know I didn't mind
When you stood on my head
And then I turned the tables around
Jandek:
I thought it just another day
I thought you saw it my way
But to my surprise
There's a difference in your eyes
Woman:
I find it hard to find you
Say you want an ashtray
Say you think you found a way
Well, you can joke about me baby
You can say my name in vain
