Ida Temping
Sitting in the office
Sitting in your chair
The temporary positions
Friends that disappear
Call a toll-free number
Voicemail message clear
You might need some assistance
Sorry, no one's there
You said
You said
You caught me
In the middle of a bad time again
Meaning you are living
Leaving you alive
Like everybody else
In the middle of a bad time
Who's that call waiting
On the telephone line
And new friends can get fragile
Scrambling for time with you
A bad time
Bad time
In the middle of a bad time
How long I've been waiting
And collecting calls
Yeah don't you want to know
You got lots of messages from
All over town
Some of them know you
But most of them are just business as usual
You said
You said
You caught me
In the middle of a bad time
What's the point of trying
To begin again
Or even finding out
In the middle of a bad time
Who gonna help you
When the elevator door jams
When all you've got are contracts
Couldn't give a damn
About you
A bad time
Bad time
Middle of a bad time
