Lonely Telephone Songtext
von Just Jack

Pick up that lonely telephone, Yeah
(Telephone)

Green is the colour of your paranoia's eyes,
Youre 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 defence 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 unravelling,
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 defence when she'd gone.
Now I'm closer to believeing 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.
