Weakerthans, The - Maryland Bridge lyrics

I woke you up at four this morning
To whimper & to whine
To hear myself through spit & crackle
Of a poor long distance line
Twelve clever ways to say I love you
With words that always fail
Hang up & light a cigarette
Sit waiting for the mail
Some flyers from department stores
A, another get rich plan
A bill or two, some shampoo & a note from Ed McMann
Although you will always be the one in which I´ll confide
Sometimes you are the razor on my private water slide

Chorus:
By the way, I got your letter yesterday
It said theres no need to be sad
It said that some things would never ever change
But that some already had
And I would heard it from the corner of my ear
How that voice makes things right
And I am sure theres smth more than memory
Across the Maryland bridge tonight

How ominous these undercurrents
They crowd me now it seems
And every time I meet you in the darkness of my dreams
It is likely that I will turn around & parody myself
Imagine we are in different places
Pretend we are someone else
I can be J. Edgar Hoover
You be JFK
As power hungry egocentrics
We will paper fight the nights away
sometimes you are my nemesis
When I´m paranoid
Sometimes I´ve doubts & worries
Too strong to avoid

Chorus

Maryland bridge tonight
