Laura

Laura
 Calls me
 In the middle of the night
 Passes on her
 Painful information
 Then these careless fingers
 They get caught in her vice
 Til they're bleeding
 On my coffee table
 Living alone isn't all that
 It's cracked up to be
 ♪
 I'm on her side
 Why does she push the poison on me?
 ♪
 Laura
 Has a very hard time
 All her life has
 Been one long disaster
 Then she tells me
 She suddenly believes she's seen
 A very good sign
 She'll be taking
 Some aggressive action
 I fight her wars
 While she's slamming her doors
 In my face
 ♪
 Failure to break
 Was the only mistake
 That she made
 ♪
 Here I am
 Feeling like a fucking fool
 Do I react the way exactly
 She intends me to?
 Everytime I think I'm off the hook
 She makes me lose my cool
 I'm her machine
 And she can punch all the keys
 She can push any button I was programmed through
 Laura
 Calls me
 When she needs a good fix
 All her questions
 Will get sympathetic answers
 I should be so immunized
 To all of her tricks
 She's surviving
 On her second chances
 Sometimes I feel like this
 Godfather deal is all wrong
 ♪
 How can she hold an umbilical chord
 For so long?
 ♪
 I've done everything I can
 What else am I supposed to do
 I'm her machine
 And she can punch all the keys
 She can push any button I was programmed through
 Laura (Laura)
 Loves me (loves me)
 Even if I don't care (if I don't care)
 That's my problem
 That's her sacred absolution
 If she had to
 She would put herself in my chair
 Even though I faced electrocution
 She always says
 I'm the best friend that she's ever had

 How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?
