Help Wanted Lyrics by Wide Wail

Wide Wail

1995

Signs said "help wanted"
Well it was a dusty little red shack anyway
And his letter read "I don't even know you"
And he said "I felt like I was in a hotel, in a waiting room
Like I was in a made bed"

And I heard it on the radio
You didn't want it
They couldn't tempt you and you didn't need it
You knew you had to go through

Foreheads and four cups of coffee
And feeling very fortunate to be that way
Your empty chair still has you sitting there
And I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tried to tell you how to feel
Because you must've felt like you were in a hotel, in a waiting room
Like you wеre in a made bed
I hеard it on the radio

You didn't want it
They couldn't tempt you
You didn't need it
But you knew you had to go through

Two dollars gets you love in a photo booth
Four plastic passion pages
And it was only after you handed them to me
Did you notice you were naked?
And in the end, well it was poison pen letters written
And losing time

The sign said "help wanted"
But it was a dusty little red shack anyway
And his letter read "Well I don't think I ever really got to know you"

You didn't want it
And they couldn't tempt you and you didn't need it
But you knew that you had to go through
