lyrics

(chorus) Every message is erased
Every photograph replaced
Got to keep the record clean
Scrub your memory from my machine
Every alabi's been used,
Every accident excused
But now we louse it up again.

I only wear this jacket
Because it covers up my gait
And you can have a small town panic
We're in trouble but it's much too late
I only have an hour
But I suppose that's nothing new
And you can feel amused and abused
That I spend it running back to you

(chorus)

I ony have this feeling
When I come bounding trhough your door
And we can thow up chains and bolts
And say we tried but couldn't stand it anymore
And then we go on some hiatus
And throw our feelings in a box
But we can have a hard time poking fingers
Smashing fists against the lock

(chorus - new words)
Every issue is confused
Every arbiter recused
Got to keep the docket clean
Wash the fingerprints off our machine
Every item's been reviewed
All our penalties accrued
But still we haven't paid the fee

And is it that hard to explain
We shut it down and start again
And yet we never spread our wings and fly away
We just wait for another day
Fly fly away
Wait for the day to be released

Every message is erased
Every photograph replaced
Got to keep the record clean
Scrub your memory from my machine
Every alabi's been used
Every accident excused but now we start it up again
Oh oh oh, we start it up
We start it up again
