Rotary Telephone

(album: Talk Talk - 2023)

A rotary telephone, a TV antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

Virgo born in purple storm
Standing on a home made platform
Screaming at a bull horn
Until the break of morn
Or til I die trying to make the whole room too warm
Oooh how are? You spend a few minutes
Less than an hour trying to move in between the space right now
From the last time I seen your face make shapes outside of digital keepsakes
Ahhh keep that lonely energy
If only we could kick away the penalties
Make love and peace make a bunch of seeds
I'll make anything just to make memories
To put it all in perspective
I'm trying to give everything one hundred percentage of me
And you can take it however you shall
I wasn't waving at you anyways, I was waving at the clouds

A rotary telephone, a TV antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

Come on now even if there was a way to say what I thought about anything
Doubt I'll waste my breath trying to preach to the crowd
I'm not trying to sell teeth to a crocodile
I'm not in style I don't think I had the chance
I was just a child that liked to draw on my pants
I was trying to find a couple answers
I knew I was a problem when I saw your hands up
Now put the dinner in a bag
If you call police I'mma burn your flag
Trying to chop this wood like it's all good
Like maybe it'll fix a broken part of my childhood
Ish and you know that's the link
Got you chasing realities that went extinct
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers
And a gold name plate on a four finger ring

A rotary telephone, a TV antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

When the spotlight shine did you finally find
Some kind of peace of mind or a piece of behind
I wrote my number above the hand dryer
It says call for a good vampire
I been a few places on this planet
Same shit different sandwich
Coming at you live on borrowed time
How's my driving, call me on the party line

A rotary telephone, a TV antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

A rotary telephone, a TV antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts
