The Answering Machine


I'm so confused that I can't see,
Circumstances say how it should be.
This party is so overrated,
Let's go into town and get wasted.
I know that I've got to kick back,
But I know that you'll just sit back.
Yeah, you know it's true,
This city's a tomb.

And I make it clear,
But you won't let go.
And your words rip back
When I tell you 'no!'

Never gonna go, never gonna go back home.
In this city here all night, alone.

I'm sort of lacking certainty,
Situations tease the drunk out of me.
Darling, you're so underrated,
Let's go back to yours and get wasted.
I know that I've got to kick back,
But I know that you'll just sit back.
Yeah, you know it's true,
This city's a tomb.

And I make it clear,
But you won't let go.
And your words rip back
When I tell you 'no!'

Never gonna go, never gonna go back home.
In this city here all night, alone.
Never gonna go, never gonna go back home.
In this city here all night, alone.
Here all night, alone.
