Jimmy Buffett - Everybody's on the Phone lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Everybody's on the Phone lyrics]
Message in a bottle, rhythm of a drum
Smoke signals and telegraphs made
The airwaves hum
But that's all ancient history
Like bongs and Lincoln Logs
Now we livin' like the Jetsons
In a wacky wireless fog
Talkin' squawkin' hawkin'
Who knows if anybody's gettin' through?
Toasters talk to crackberries
Boston to Bombay
Teenage schemes and Ma Bell dreams
As minutes tick away
We act like crazy people talking to ourselves
Crashing cars for conversations
Still that shit flies off the shelf
The information superhighway's crawling like
An LA traffic jam
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to socialite
We all salute the satellite
Won't you text me with your master plan?
You're loud and clear but I don't understand
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone
Do you remember dialing up, yes
I remember well now I just can't go anywhere
Without my sacred cell
I think that I might die if
I miss anything at all
Text me, send an e mail, link me up
Give me a call i'm ADD on AOL and tryin' to
Read the writing on the wall
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to the socialite
We all salute the satellite
Won't you text me with your master plan?
You're loud and clear but I don't understand
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone
Now I'm a real jungle jumper
I'm a megahertz man
I swing from tree to tree
On the very latest plan
On the download in the dropout zones
In every major city 'cross the land
I got Bob Marley on my ringtone
Get up, stand up, reach out, touch somebody
Man
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to the socialite
We all salute the satellite
Won't you text me with your master plan?
You're loud and clear but I don't understand
I'm a digital explorer in analog roam
And everybody's on the phone
I'm a digital explorer in an analog foam
Everybody's on the phone
Yeah can you hear me?
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
Oh shit, the batteries are going
Let me get over to the window
Did you get that? I'll call you back
Smoke signals and telegraphs made
The airwaves hum
But that's all ancient history
Like bongs and Lincoln Logs
Now we livin' like the Jetsons
In a wacky wireless fog
Talkin' squawkin' hawkin'
Who knows if anybody's gettin' through?
Toasters talk to crackberries
Boston to Bombay
Teenage schemes and Ma Bell dreams
As minutes tick away
We act like crazy people talking to ourselves
Crashing cars for conversations
Still that shit flies off the shelf
The information superhighway's crawling like
An LA traffic jam
Everybody's on the phone
So connected and all alone
From the pizza boy to socialite
