Palms are beginning to sweat (When you I call)
Seconds slip through my net
Maybe I should forget
Maybe I should…
Brain waves send a message: pick up the phone
Arm is moving now, no longer stone
Hand reaches out with a will of its own
Pick up the receiver cradled ‘tween fingerbones
(When you I call)
Numbers lined up listed 0 through 9
Pluck them one by one like fruit on the vine
Done dialing then blood turns to wine
Kill the connection hang up just in time
Numbers lined up listed 0 through 9
Pluck them one by one like fruit on the vine
Done dialing then blood turns to wine
Maintain connection and stay on the line
Ring ring…
Ring ring…
Brain waves send a message: pick up the line
Palms are beginning to sweat
Pluck them one by one like fruit on the vine
Seconds slip through my net
Hand reaches out with a will of its own
Maybe I should forget
Maintain connection and stay on the phone
Maybe I should…
