(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
