Answering Machine - Live at Maxwell's, Hoboken, NJ, 2/4/86

Try to breathe some life into a letter
 Losing hope, never gonna be together
 My courage is at its peak
 You know what I mean
 How do you say you're okay
 To an answering machine?
 How do you say goodnight
 To an answering machine?
 Big time's got its losers
 Small town's got its vices
 A handful of friends
 One needs a match, one needs some ice
 Call-waiting phone in another time zone
 How do you say I miss you
 To an answering machine?
 How do say good night
 To an answering machine?
 (If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again
 If you need help, dial the number...)
 I get enough of that
 Try to free a slave of ignorance
 Try and teach a whore about romance
 How do you say I miss you
 To an answering machine?
 How do you say good night to
 An answering machine?
 How do you say I'm lonely to
 An answering machine?
 The message is very plain
 Oh, I hate your answering machine
 I hate your answering machine
 I hate your answering machine.
 (If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again.
 If you need help...)
