Lucrecia Dalt
Answering Machine
She buys a bottle of water
On her way home
She stops to check her mailbox
It's empty, empty all
She throws her coat on the floor
No noise at all
The answering machine just tells you to
Go hide and hide and hide it all
She feels the world is moving
Before she falls
She packs her stuff and leaves it
Before he comes
She grabs a bottle of whiskey
If weakness comes
The answering machine just tells you to
Drinks with a hand as she walks
Leaving it all behind
Her other hand holds a flash
In case there's no light
How is it going to be
She's humming down the street
The answering machine just told her to
Go hide and hide and hide it all, all
She buys a bottle of water
On her way home
She stops to check her mailbox
It's empty, empty all
She throws her coat on the floor
No noise at all
The answering machine just tells you to
Go hide and hide and hide it all
And hide it all
And hide it
