Lonely Telephone

(альбом: Life Lessons - 2016)

Pick up that lonely telephone, Yeah
(Telephone)

Green is the color of your paranoia's eyes
You're becoming one of those guys
Who see serpents in every shadow
Hiding in the grassy knoll
And that bitter pill has been stuck up in your core for far too long
Maybe its time you spit it out
And admitted that you were wrong

Is this it?
Is this how it ends?
With your delusions making strangers out of friends
And all the times I jumped to your defense when she left
Now you got me wondering if I wasted my breath

Pick up that lonely telephone, Yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone
(Telephone)
Yeah
(Telephone)

Regret, time, money and trouble are always on your mind
Building a great divide
Between the ones you share your history
And the fortress of your pride
Years have been unraveling
But you seem much the same
And those doom tinted spectacles always suited you quite well anyway

Is this it?
Is this how it ends?
You'd amputate your nose to spite your face again
And all the times I jumped to your defense when she'd gone
Now I'm closer to believing that I was wrong

Pick up that lonely telephone, Yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone
(Telephone)
Yeah
(Telephone)

We could have turned a page but you went and burned the book
Tell me you don't recall the days when a call is all it took

You could pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone
You could pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone

Pick up that lonely telephone, Yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone, Yeah
(Telephone) [x8]

Is this it?
Is this how it ends?
With your delusions making strangers out of friends
Out of friends
