Pulling Punchlines Songtext
von The Telephone Numbers

So afraid of the ring getting stuck
Shying away from a permanent cut
Back of the line until I figure out what to do
Can you whisper in my ear while I sleep
Direct the actors in my dreams
Feed me the lines as I piss away my youth
Before I fall into another lie
Before I leave this world behind
Don′t waste my time
Saturnine


Half alive
Pulling punchlines
Buying records I've already sold
Yesterday′s losses looking like gold
Fell asleep at the wheel of the car I stole
My calendar is getting coated with ice
I watch all the days just slip to the right
A memory is a just a shelter from the cold
Before I fall into another lie
Before I leave this world behind

Don't waste my time
Saturnine
Half alive
Pulling punchlines
I am free
To be worried
To be seen
Falling down
I get lost
In the worry

But I am free
In the ground
