No more negotiations dear I’m runnin’ out of patience here Whisper congratulations in my ear when it’s clear That we’ve got nothing much left to say The monuments the maps The skylines and the tourist traps Would all do well if they collapsed And send you runnin’ back here to me
Well, Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder In all the pictures that you send me now Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too I felt something slip when you left on your trip And now I think I’m breaking down on you
Could you be more specific dear Tell me what is so terrific here Don’t be too scientific but make it clear And never fear I’ll be scratchin’ it down my nails in clay, hey
Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder In all the pictures that you send me now your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too I felt something slip when you left on your trip And now I think I’m breaking down on you
Yeah, have another sedative It gets so repetitive and don’t do a damn to help me feel OK Another prayer for me, hear from you There will be a very nice affair But will it help me through the day, yeah
Well, Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder In all the pictures that you send me now your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too I felt something slip when you left on your trip And now I think I’m breaking down on you
