Telephone

Fools once tried to lasso the sun and Oh what a shame that it couldn't be done and When the rope fell back to the earth It left scorch marks in the dirt Now the fools have fire and a burning desire To build an empire and connect us through the wires So they wrap the world in sunburnt ropes And from this New Earth the Telephone rose I fall asleep holding the Telephone Just so that I don't have to feel alone This plastic world makes me feel right at home I'll live and die holding the Telephone I forget everything I've spoke Soon as the words leave my throat and The Telephone feeds me lines until I choke Then he laughs like it's a joke Now there's wires in my veins (Oh no) Heart is beating in morse code Eyes reflect the electric glow Aren't you scared we'll overload? I fall asleep holding the Telephone Just so that I don't have to feel alone This plastic world makes me feel right at home I'll live and die holding the Telephone They call, but they don't call me They talk but I'm just listening They call, but they don't call me They call, but they don't call me They talk but I'm just listening and They call, but they don't call me I fall asleep holding the Telephone Just so that I don't have to feel alone This plastic world makes me feel right at home I'll live and die holding the I'll live and die They call, but they don't call me They talk but I'm just listening They call, but they don't call me They call, but they don't call me They talk but I'm just listening They call, but they don't call me
