The Answering Machine Lyrics - Marillion

We flew here to see you 

My feelings and I 

I looked down on the city 

From up in the sky 

The sun was reflecting 

From the roofs and the water 

Spring had come early 

In the parks and the old town 

I came with a mission 

To patch up a dream 

We walked and I talked and my words were absorbed 

Into the answering machine 

I came two thousand miles 

Just to take a look at you 

But you were broken and frozen 

A heartbreak of a statue 

In the bullet-proof mirrors 

Where your eyes used to be 

I stared at myself and I called for some help 

Into the answering machine 

The day slipped by and I tried and tried 

You took me home and you said 

"Goodnight, Sleep tight" 

On the floor by the bedroom door 

I watched you sleep and I left before first light 

The bugs don't bite 

The bugs don't bite 

The bugs bite
