Fonder And Blonder

No more negotiations, dear
I'm running out of patience here
Whisper congratulations in my ear
When it's clear that we got nothing much left to say
The monuments, the maps
The skylines and the tourist traps
Would all too well evade collapse
And send you running back here to me

Well, who said absence makes the heart grow fonder?
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit longer
Cars break down
And people break down
And other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on you

Could you be more specific, dear?
Tell me what is so terrific here
Don't be too scientific but make it clear
And never fear, I'll be scratching it down
My nails in clay

Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder?
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit longer
Cars break down
And people break down
And other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on you, yeah

Have another sedative
It gets so repetitive
And don't do a damn to help me feel okay
Another prayer for me, hear from you
There will be a very nice affair
But will it help me through the day?
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, well, who said absence makes the heart grow fonder?
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit longer
Cars break down
And people break down
And other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on
Cars break down
And people break down
And other things break down too
I felt something slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down on you

Yeah
