lyrics

Haven’t had much luck getting in touch on the telephone
Cutting through the red tape runaround, hung up and put on hold
So-and-so says he’ll put you through, never know who’s-who or what
Call back in a week and nothing’s changed, the case is open shut

ticking it away ticking away
ticking it away, time is ticking away
a walker and a remote
someone’s gotta pay for
is there someone anywhere can direct me to opening a locked door

Been about three months since you left home around christmas time
In and out of Abbott, back and forth a habit and 911
Sitting on your hard bed, you don’t like what you’re fed, got oxygen
There’s only so many ways, only so many days to move out again

ticking it away, time is ticking away
ticking it away, time is ticking away
wishing it away and wasting it way
well, maybe if we wait long enough
the problem will just go away
maybe if we wait long enough
maybe you’ll just go away…
call back in a week or two
nothing’s changed
the case is open shut
the case is open shut
