By the Book (A Pop Song) Songtext
von Manning

We see posters on your walls but the
Labels in the book are reading up on you
And all the things that you do (Reading up on you)
Oh No! Your face is in the shadows,
The Lady′s in the lake and all the World is blue
From that things that you do (All the things you do)

Picking up the phone, I feel I'm all alone
Is there anybody out there?
Calling down the line, I′m screaming down the line
Is there anybody out there?


Inside, moving just like clockwork
Around and round and searching for the
Key, to set us free (Searching for a key)
Outside, Simon kills the Pieman,
Mother Goose is lying and London Bridge is for sale
Here comes the sting in the tale (All good stories fail)

Picking up the phone, I feel I'm all alone
Is there anybody out there?
Calling down the line, I'm screaming down the line
Is there anybody out there?

Ancient stories, lost in Time
Use their reason to fix the rhyme
And we have been here, filed away
Watching as your moments tick away

Picking up the phone, I feel I′m all alone
Is there anybody out there?
Calling down the line, I′m screaming down the line
Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?
