lyrics

Taking out the trash out of his office, Conrad isn’t there
I could call him crass, call him a sophist; I don’t think that Conrad cares
You call me at dawn, tell me to “Come on!”; oh Conrad, hear my prayer:
Leave me alone, Conrad

I pick up a rag, I’m cleaning a toilet, Conrad, can you see?
Now I back away, something is buoyant; Conrad, why did you call me?
I guess I’m alright, the clock is gonna bite; oh Conrad, hear my plea:
Leave me alone, Conrad

It’s really funny that you’re calling,
I was just about to do the same
You can tell, can tell that I’m not well
I’ve been going through something
I don’t think you wanna know,
but if you do, I’ll tell the truth, I’ll tell the truth

Lying in my bed, speaking so softly; Conrad isn’t there
Sitting in my chair, drinking my coffee; I don’t think that Conrad cares
Regretting what I said, I go back to bed; oh Conrad, hear my prayer:
Leave me alone, Conrad
