The phone is quiet.
I wonder if he's okay.
Ah, it's ringing now.

On and on, the road...
So many miles, so few years...
On and on, the road.

For sale. Good used truck.
It has low miles, it runs fine,
It looks just like you.

Glad when this is through.
I can start on something new.
Glad when that is through.

Show your I.D., please.
There are too many of us
To know you are you.

"Do this! Do that! Hey!
Can't you read the sign you fool?"
"My sign says `No, sir.'"

Never drives the car.
Not that kind of vehicle.
She just shines the chrome.

I've had my trials, but
Today I've met my match with
Sand in my swim suit.

Fertilize, water,
Make the grass grow tall, so now
I can mow the lawn.

Two plus three? Oh, gee...
I don't know. Just put it in
the calculator.

I'm invisible?
You don't want to see me, so
I'm invisible?

"I'm calling to tell
What I have for sale. You will
save money..." - click - buzz.

You said you were ill.
"You must get well." I replied.
Then you left me. Why?

Am I a misfit?
A Jello girl, stuck inside
A Haagen' Daaz world?
