Armchair Martian - Statler #3 Lyrics

i'm only waving to get out of the way
i know that the check-in avoids the pain
and i'm only lying to the ones that suggest it
if ever i was missed, you know that i caved
all i know is you came too quickly and left the same
i couldn't believe it when you stayed
i just knew you were leaving soon, knew you were leaving soon
enough you're so anxious, praying on the breaking news
and now the sun goes down too soon

i'm only staring at your eyes dear
to think of a reason why mine cry
i wanna get you back
so i can give you away
head filled with ego, and your heart filled with fame
but all i know is you came too quickly and left the same
couldn't believe it when you stayed
i just knew you were leaving soon, just knew you were leaving soon
enough you're so anxious, preparing the breaking noose
and now the sun goes down too soon
and i wonder who you're hanging tonight
