lyrics

(a phone rings once, twice)

The robot always asks the same
Will you accept the charges? — yes
Two hundred miles, a chain-link frame
You sound smaller than I'd guess

I don't tell you about the snow
(the snow, the snow)
Piling on the Nova, slow

I accept (I accept) the charges, all of them
I accept (I accept) the mess we're from
I accept (I accept) your call, again, again
I accept (I accept) till they send you home

Your denim jacket's on my chair
It smells of engine oil and smoke
I start the Nova, say a prayer
Let it idle like we spoke

Three more Christmases, they said
(they said, they said)
I'll keep a light on in the shed
(your amp's still in the shed)

I accept (I accept) the charges, all of them
I accept (I accept) the mess we're from
I accept (I accept) your call, again, again
I accept (I accept) till they send you home

(a dial tone, then quiet)
Call Sunday. I'll accept.
