[Verse 1]
What a surprise
Wearing your disguise on the telephone line
I know it pleased you
To know I needed you and your time
You play the game
Not saying either way, but you know
Could've made it real quick
Save me the guilt trip, and just said, "No"
[Chorus]
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
[Break]
[Verse 2]
This conversation
Alienation in your tone
I've got no fucking clue
From your point of view and your time zone
I wouldn't have asked
Saved you the task, if I weren't for real
Trading a daughter and two thousand dollars
For a national steel
[Chorus]
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
[Coda]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down down
