Telephone 03:05
Chorus: You say you love me, But I think you don't You're always telling me, On the telephone Oh I beg you, Talk to me, Oh I beg you, Beg you beg you, please Come home, Come home When I have you on the telephone, I don't know what to say, Don't know what to say, Before the silence gets too long, How was your day today, How was your day today? Rambling on about this and that, When all I want to say is please come back, When all I want to say is please come back. (Chorus) When I have you on the telephone, I rack my brain away, I rack my brain away, And the effort is just my own, Doesn't matter what I say, Doesn't matter what I say. You force a laugh at a joke I crack. So does that mean you are not coming back, So does that mean you're not coming back? (Chorus) When I have you on the telephone (4)

Once upon a time, I was growing thin, Once upon a time, I didn't, Once upon a time I combed my hair, Once upon a time, I wasn't there. And I've been looking for something nice, And I've been thinking why do I even try. Oh oh oh oh (2) Once upon a time there lived a king, Once upon a time he knew nothing, Once upon a time there lived a queen, Once upon a time she didn't intervene, Into the process of not to give, About life and she lived, Happy, Happily ever after, Happy, Happily ever after Happily ever after, I'm as happy as I can be, Happily ever after, I'm as happy as I can be, If you think that the song is not to end, Then you are mistaken, my friend.

Tell me 04:19
Tell me, where I should be going? Tell me now, what should I be doing? I don't promise to listen to what you say, As I am surrounded by fools every day. I am waiting for my little man's story, Without his knowledge my life is boring. I listen to him without any inkling, Of what he is trying to say to me. The perversion of nature is sublime to my thought, I sit here bored, daydreaming about to rot, Amnesia existing but I think I forgot, About the number of times, I have fought. Laughing and crying with psychedelic wants, Detraction from life due to wanting to want, Crazy things and desires free in my head. Planning about the time I'll be dead. I sit and wait and try to do the work, But all I see are people berserk, They jump up on me and pounce and bite, And nightmares haunt me like ghosts at night, Temptation leads to the effective perversion, Temptation is the reason for my conversion, So tell me now what I should be doing? Tell me hey, where should I go?

I was walking down the road that day, Coz I had nothing better to do, Walking and talking to myself, Topic of conversation was "you". I think of times spent with you, Such moments were so few, Your head on my shoulder, Oh that's true! I was sitting on the couch that day, Coz I had nothing better to do, Sitting and talking to myself, Topic of conversation was you. Everything is going wrong, That's why I'm singing this song I was walking down the road that day, Coz I had nothing better to do, Walking and talking to myself, Topic of conversation was "you".

I can't be kept here too long, I'm a bird I need to sing my song, I've been doing time here for a while, It's all I can do to keep up a smile. And I'm so lost without a thing to do, And I can't take a... another dose of truth And I stare straight blankly at the wall, And I find myself trapped in a box Every day I keep staring at the screen, I have nothing to do in between Though I have a lot of things in line, Staring blankly takes too much time. And I'm so lost without a thing to do, And I can't take a... another dose of truth And I stare straight blankly at the wall, And I find myself trapped in a box And I'm so lost without a thing to do, And I can't take a... another dose of truth And I stare straight blankly at the wall, And I find myself trapped in a box
