lyrics

I filled out the application to be a human being,
she put it on the stack with all the others, i walked out onto the street

and I lit my telephone
and answered my cigarettes
and started to weep
cause I heard a joke

and I hope my papers go through
I hope to hear from you soon....

I filled out the application to be her man
I signed my name so hard, I nearly broke my hand

and I lit my telephone
and answered my cigarettes
and started to laugh,
cause I saw something sad

and I hope my papers go through
I hope to hear from you soon...

I filled out the application to be released,
I won't say it's been a drag, but I'm looking forward (can't you see?)

cause I'm sick of answering my cigarettes and eating my telephone
and I'm sick of these weird tears, from my ears...

and I hope my papers go through
I hope to hear from you soon

...please don't write in red ink on my application honey baby....
