Ever thought of calling when you've had a few?

Tell me where's your hiding place

I'm worried I'll forget your face

And I've asked everyone

And I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

Incapable of making alright decisions

And having bad ideas

Go into business with a grizzly bear

But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair
