hi, this is Ciarán
please leave a message after the tone
right now, I’m elsewhere
and have been for quite some time
now I know I’ve been around
and been doing more or less the usual
but behind those smiles
and the occasional wisecrack
I was elsewhere
now at first you heard all about it
but I zipped it
‘cause the record broke a long time ago
but when I said I was back
I was elsewhere
but elsewhere’s not done it for me
you might as well chew wasps
to soothe your ulcers
so I’m trying to return
and I’ll return your call
when I get back from elsewhere
