(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
|
