Текст песни No Exit

I swear I was in a café when I died; It's the only explanation that I can abide. 'Cause here you come with a look full of longing, Sitting down across from me with a chai latte. And suddenly, I'm tangled in the coma-inducing web of your life. Here they come: all the Cliffs Notes of your boring play. Within minutes I feel like I've been here all day. Yes, here it comes-why you hate your job, The guy you like and what you did this weekend. And I realize an hour has passed And I haven't heard a word you've said. I know I've died, and I'm paying for some time When I was unjust, or just unkind. Why else am I drowning in your endless droning, Struggling to maintain a smile? I'm sure you're not altogether bad But you're still a pain in the ass. And nothing I could say Would leave your self-esteem intact. You're such an awful boor When you come through the door I want to run and hide But our paths always collide. I swear we are in the café of dismay. We're stars in the sequel to Sartre's dreary play. Your mind is like a TV set tuned a dead channel in the night, Though I prefer the sound of lush white noise To the broken static of your life. I must've died, and I'm paying for some time When I was unjust or just unkind. Why else am I drowning in your endless droning, Struggling to maintain a smile? Then you croon, "Thanks so much for listening," As if I had a choice, as if I had a choice. I'd rather be beaten with a blunt instrument Than listen to your noise, than listen to your voice. Keep your iron voice locked away. And keep your mouth closed long enough for me to say, "Goodbye."
