So long to the words we knew
Accidents are all we have
And the sound's so loud
But you couldn't call it out
And the difference is down to patronage
But on the phone they were talking you down
A conversation called "couldn't have you around"
To take your time
You're primitive, and I'm past my prime
Say goodbye to the facts we thought we knew
And the figures we found
In the margins
Of the pictures that we drew
The picture is about patronage
But on the phone they were talking you down
A conversation called "couldn't have you around"
To take your time
You're primitive, I'm patient
I paced it like so
You're red and you're rote
I come and I go, cold comfort
I'm someone you know
You're caught in your coat
With nowhere to go
No answers
You're sallow
