The Pitch Drop Experiment - Plastic Rings Lyrics

There's an office twelve miles away
But it's only open for booked appointments
When you try to phone them they'll say
Your call is important to us
Don't take a number you'll get one in time
A number that shows just how much your call meant
Then they'll send you a form that's online
The response could take up to six months
But she is screaming now
A cornered cat that spits and cries
And though you know it's fear it looks like hatred in her eyes
When you first found out what did you say
Now I'll have someone to love and what's nice is
She'll love me back yeah we'll be a team
But the best that you get is that stare
In the kitchen watching a screen
A man telling you how to cope with crisis
And all you thinking is where has she been
And what was she doing out there
There's no hand on shoulder only helpful Powerpoints
It's a endless business keeping terror from your voice
You keep having dreams where you fly
And she's not with you
He said it's a journey but not why
We won't be coming too
When you hear the doorbell is it too late
Or is it just a warning
We're so quick to punish quick to hate
But never to take the blame
There's a playground and six years ago
You used to sit there and watch her climbing
Now they've taped off all of the swings
And looks like the scene of a crime
You hands are pushing deep in you coat
Where there's a hole in pocket lining
Where there's hair clips and toy plastic rings
And it just seems a really long time
