Answering machine

(Text: C-W. Rasch, Musik: R. Jäger)

 

I've been wondering about that little world of yours
and what's behind all your secret doors
they are so carefully sealed
are you hiding wounds that aren't completely healed?
you can open your heart and tell me if you love me for real
But when I ask you to reveal your inner dreams
you turn away and put your trust in a machine
 
Please turn off that answering machine
'cause I'm tired of recorded message routines
you sound like a tape going round and round…
 
If your gadget is used between nine and five
thats OK but baby later on you just have to be live
This automation is breaking every common rule
and it leaves me standing here feeling like a fool
 
Please turn off that answering machine
'cause I'm tired of recorded message routines
you sound like a tape going round and round
 
One of these days I'm shure that you will blow a fuse
and for that beep tone you won't have no further use
until then I guess that you'll be out of touch
and our conversations they won't lead to much
 
 'cause you're hooked up to an answering machine
I'm so tired of recorded message routines
you sound like a tape going round and round…
 
 round and round…
 
 round and round…
