lyrics

Hey there
I'm calling from the station
I matched a complication
On common ground

Hey there
The reason that I'm calling
I do believe we're falling
On common ground

Hey there
I still see you quiver
On the bottom of the river
On common ground

Hey there
A fault in my insurance
In need of some assistance
On common ground

Hey there
Six foot and arising
Now retread in hiding
On common ground

Hey there
After the latest visit
We were each other's witness
On common ground
On common ground

Hey there
Did you ever escape her?
That tender Venus in fur?
On common ground

Hey there
No further hesitations
This freak of human nature
On common ground

Hey there
She came on as a manic
Breath slightly vitriolic
On common ground

Hey there
Took the morning papers
You just left for breakfast
On common ground

Hey there
Left alone to beat it
The way that you would treat it
On common ground
On common ground
