Lying here between your progeny and your Visa card statement |
|
Beside the coffee stained torn envelope |
|
We took your facsimile and we pinned it to the wall |
|
Here on the other side of the world |
|
You call here when it's 3 AM and we hear music playing |
|
You call here and you don't have time to talk |
|
You call in on your cell phone but you're cutting out |
|
Here on the other side of the world |
|
You send in electronic mail transmissions |
|
Dispatches from your colonies - your Commonwealth |
|
But your syntax is distracted and your sideways happy face |
|
Is not on the other side of the world |
|
from the girl |
|
with the starry eyes |
|
and the easy smile |
|
she's just sitting there |
|
Could I stay a while? |
|
Lying here between your progeny and your Visa card statement |
|
Beside the coffee stained torn envelope |
|
We took your facsimile and we pinned it to the wall |
|
Here on the other side of the world |
