"r'ya there?" "yeah..." "whatcha doin." "you didnt even say hello.." "...hello." "is that normally how you answer your phone?" "well there are a lot of ways to answer the phone. you could say "gristo--"" "no, you just picked it up and didnt say anything, you go, "r'ya there?" " "im sorry." "what are ya doin?" "making a record."

(pause)

"you're a cumquat." (laughter) "we're doin' vocal track. you're, you're all, all over it." "ooooh, great."

i love this song. to me it is talking about how people impede themselves, whether in their brain or in society or however, like wearing a leash. but wearing it with the person you love/care about/whatever makes it not so bad.
