"National Steel" lyrics - KATHLEEN EDWARDS

What a surprise
Wearing your disguise on the telephone line
I know it pleased you
To know I needed you and your time
You play the game
Not saying either way, but you know
Could've made it real quick
Save me the guilt trip, and just said, "No"

[Chorus:]
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?

[Break]

This conversation
Alienation in your tone
I've got no fucking clue
From your point of view and your time zone
I wouldn't have asked
Saved you the task, if I weren't for real
Trading a daughter and two thousand dollars
For a national steel

[Chorus:]
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?
Are you writing this all down?

[Coda:]
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down down
