Bryan Ferry - All Night Operator lyrics

Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator dial me a better line
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters only my pen runs dry
Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight operator help me to pass it on
Final connection a bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestin' i count on your call
Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs all night operator
Reader between the lies
With half the world dreamin'
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathin'
A diary of crossed lines
Can't you hear me talkin' to you
I'm callin' you one more time
All night operator dial me better line


If you feel me driftin' away
Slippin' into my song all night operator
All of a sudden - gone
