Laura   Calls me   In the middle of the night   Passes on her   Painful information      Then these careless fingers   They get caught in her vice   Til they're bleeding   On my coffee table   Living alone isn't all that   It's cracked up to be      I'm on her side   Why does she push the poison on me?   Laura   Has a very hard time   All her life has   Been one long disaster      Then she tells me   She suddenly believes she's seen   A very good sign   She'll be taking   Some aggressive action      I fight her wars   While she's slamming her doors   In my face   Failure to break   Was the only mistake   That she made      Here I am   feeling like a fucking fool   Do I react the way exactly   She intends me to?      Everytime I think I'm off the hook   She makes me lose my cool   I'm her machine   And she can punch all the keys   She can push any button I was programmed through      Laura   Calls me   When she needs a good fix   All her questions   Will get sympathetic answers      I should   Be so   Immunized   To all of her tricks   She's surviving   On her second chances      Sometimes I feel like this   Godfather deal is all wrong   How can she hold an umbilical chord   For so long?      I've done everything I can   What else am I supposed to do   I'm her machine   And she can punch all the keys   She can push any button I was programmed through      Laura   Loves me   Even if I don't care   That's my problem   That's her sacred absolution      If she had to   She would put herself in my chair   Even though I   Faced electrocution   She always says   I'm the best friend that   She's ever had      How do you   Hang up on someone   Who needs you that bad?
