Understanding Salesman - Eels

A knock at the door means

Hello, Jesus calls

A ring on the phone means

A trip to Niagara Falls

Daddy, don’t let me down this time

I’m all alone inside my mind

And it’s no small thing

That I must prove to you

A late night card game

With the guys is alright

But I would rather take you

For a test drive

Daddy, don’t let me down this time

I’m all alone inside my mind

And it’s no small thing

That I must prove to you

While I look out on the passing fields

The sun through the bugs on the windshield

Makes me feel like I don’t matter

A knock on the door means

Hello, Jesus calls

A ring on the phone means

A trip to Niagara Falls
