Telegraph Melts

Jandek


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
