It's a useless wait (rage?), I know Brag about things you don't understand A girl and a woman, a boy and a man Everything is sexually vague [an awkward phase?] Now you're wondering to yourself If you might be gay Your age is the hardest age Everything drags and drags One day, baby, maybe help you through Sixteen blue Sixteen blue Drive your ma to the bank Tell your pa you got a date You're lying, now you're lying on your back Try to figure out, they wonder what next you'll pull You don't understand anything sexual I don't understand Tell my friends I'm doing fine Your age is the hardest age Everything drags and drags You're looking funny You ain't laughing, are you? Sixteen blue Sixteen blue Answering Machine ______________________________________________________________ 1, 2, 3, 4 Try to breathe some life into a letter Losing hope, never gonna be together My courage is at it's peak You know what I mean How do say you're O.K. to An answering machine? How do you say good night 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? 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... 2-1-2 3-1-3 2-1-2 3-1-3 2-1-2 3-1-3 @1984 NAH Music ASCAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- / // The\kyway \\ / skyway@novia.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (c) 1996 Bastards of Young (BOY/BetaOmegaYamma) Productions list manager: Matthew Tomich (matt@novia.net) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKYWAY SUBSCRIPTION/WEB PAGE INFORMATION Send all listserver commands in the body of a letter to "majordomo@novia.net" To subscribe to the //Skyway\\: subscribe skyway To unsubscribe from the //Skyway\\: unsubscribe skyway The //Skyway\\ web page: http://www.novia.net/~matt/sky/skyway.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send submissions to: skyway@novia.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
