[01:14.01]If you come to find me affable
[01:17.63]And build a replica for me
[01:25.07]Would the idea to you be laughable
[01:31.14]Of a pale facsimile
[01:36.64]·
[01:36.83]So will you come to burn an effigy
[01:42.83]It should keep the flies away
[01:48.13]And when you long to burn this effigy
[01:52.64]It should be of the hours that slip away
[01:57.83]Slip away
[01:59.07]·
[02:09.98]It could be you
[02:11.23]It could be me
[02:13.65]Working the door
[02:14.22]Drinking for free
[02:16.83]Carrying on with your conspiracies
[02:20.84]Filling the room with a sense of unease

[02:31.27]Like the words of a man
[02:33.03]Who's spent a little too much time alone
[02:38.90]When one has spent too much time alone
[02:45.28]·
[03:10.26]So will you come to burn my effigy
[03:13.13]It should keep the flies away
[03:17.50]If you long to burn an effigy
[03:23.81]It should be of a man whose lost his way
[03:29.43]Slips away
[03:30.97]·
[03:40.51]It could be you
[03:41.82]It could be me
[03:43.76]Working the door
[03:45.88]Drinking for free
[03:47.50]Carrying on with your conspiracies
[03:50.69]Filling the room with a sense of unease
[03:54.15]Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
[03:57.52]Like the words of a man
[04:00.08]Who's spent a little too much time alone
[04:10.14]When one has spent too much time alone
