(Alexander)



You have reached

A number and a name

But I am gone

And won't be back again

If you wish

To leave a word or two

Here it is

You know what to do

Speak your mind, save yourself some time

That's what machines are for

But I'm not here anymore, I'm not here anymore



Had a friend

Who had a lady fair

Took his own life

Just to prove he cared

Now her and her new man

Yes, they're doing fine

On everything

He generously left behind

The note he left said, "Save your breath"

"Don't ask me what for"

I'm just not here anymore



Once upon a time

As the story's always told 

The people bowed and prayed

Around a calf of gold

Now the weeds are taking over

Where the garden used to grow

Some things a man can conquer

Some things he must let go, some things he must let go



I have ruled

Over a cup and spoon

And I conclude

That the kingdom's doomed

And I have schemed

I have waited and prayed

Had my dreams

Attractively displayed

So if it's your time, speak your mind

That's what regimes are for

But I'm not here anymore



Once upon a time

As the story's often told

The people bowed and prayed

Around a calf of gold

Now the leaves are taking over

Where the flowers used to grow



I'm not here anymore
