Laura
Calls me
In the middle of the night
Passes on her
Painful information
Then these careless fingers
They get caught in her vice
Til theyre bleeding
On my coffee table
Living alone isnt all that
Its cracked up to be
Im on her side
Why does she push the poison on me?
Laura
Has a very hard time
All her life has
Been one long disaster
Then she tells me
She suddenly believes shes seen
A very good sign
Shell be taking
Some aggressive action
I fight her wars
While shes slamming her doors
In my face
Failure to break
Was the only mistake
That she made
Here I am
Feeling like a f***ing fool
Do I react the way exactly
She intends me to?
Everytime I think Im off the hook
She makes me lose my cool
Im her machine
And she can punch all the keys
She can push any button I was programmed through
Laura
Calls me
When she needs a good fix
All her questions
Will get sympathetic answers
I should
Be so
Immunized
To all of her tricks
Shes surviving
On her second chances
Sometimes I feel like this
Godfather deal is all wrong
How can she hold an umbilical chord
For so long?
Ive done everything I can
What else am I supposed to do
Im her machine
And she can punch all the keys
She can push any button I was programmed through
Laura
Loves me
Even if I dont care
Thats my problem
Thats her sacred absolution
If she had to
She would put herself in my chair
Even though i
Faced electrocution
She always says
Im the best friend that
Shes ever had
How do you
Hang up on someone
Who needs you that bad?
