Telephone Calls - Fastball

Telephone calls

Apartment A is at it again

Paper thin walls

she’s been sleeping around with other men

and other women

but right about now her head is swimming

he’s breakin’up the furniture

screamin’and a yellin'

about to beat the hell outta her

Television ringin’in my ear

I’ve been thinkin'

Haven’t had a break in 20 years

I’ve been drinkin'

Telephone calls

insanity is just another ring away

I get the paper

take a look at it every single day

Another episode

another life flushed down the camode (spelling?)

We’re all carrying such a heavy load

I get no slack

it’s breakin’my back

Television ringin’in my ear, I’ve been drinkin'

Haven’t had a break in 20 years

I’ve been thinkin’get me out of here.

'til the coast is clear

Television ringin’in my ear, I’ve been thinkin'

Haven’t had a break in 20 years

I keep drinkin’Television ringin’in my ear,

I keep drinkin’liquor, wine, and beer

I’ve been thinkin'

get me out of here

I’ve been thinkin'.
