Information Lyrics - The Gathering Field

I was getting slightly intoxicated 

I was going half way out of my mind 

So I walked over to the pay phone and I waited 

For some helpful voice to come on the line 

And as I stood there I could see her face 

Bloodshot memory for a welcome mat 

And then a voice came from beyond time and space 

Said, "How can I help you? How can I help you?" 

Chorus: 

Information, please my baby 

Information, please my baby 

Last I heard it she was out your way 

Grooming horses for the rodeo 

Here's her last name, but it might have changed 

I hope that it hasn't but you never know 

Last time I saw her didn't think to ask 

Truth to tell you is I did not know 

That just behind that faithful lover's mask 

She was waiting, she was waiting 

Chorus 

All I want for Christmas is a storybook ending 

Or at least an explanation why? 

And I'd say, "Baby, I'm just curious, were you pretending? 

Or was it all just a lie?" 

If by some miracle I made it through 

And heard her pretty voice smile back at me 

I know exactly what I'd do 

I'd tell her, "Baby please come back to me." 

On second thought I would act casual 

Act like I did not miss her face at all 

I'd say the only thing that makes me call 

Could you provide me with a little bit of . . . 

Chorus
