Memo To Human Resources - They Might Be Giants

I’ll be in the back

And I don’t need the help

I’m good here in the back

I’m good all by myself

I’m busy taking stock of all the things that I’ve forgot

And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost

The plot

I stuck around too long

Feeling sorry for myself

A disinvited guest

Rifles through the bathroom shelf

I’m searching for some disbelief that I can still suspend

But never mind the furthermore;

the plea is self-defense

Again

Then the people came to talk me down

And I got some advice

Then the people came to talk me down

But I don’t need advice;

I’m down

Later in my car

I considered what you said

I’m good here in my car

I’m good with what you said

And I’d be shouting out to you, but I was mighty hoarse

Talk you through the finer points

And issues much too small to force

Then the people came to talk me down

And I got some advice

Then the people came to talk me down

But I don’t need advice;

I’m down
