Answering Machine (live) The Replacements

Try and breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, we'll never 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
