Just Jack - Lonely Telephone lyrics
[Just Jack - Lonely Telephone lyrics]
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
(Telephone)
Green is the color of your paranoia's eyes
You're becoming one of those guys
Who sees serpents in every shadow
Hiding in the grassy knoll
And that bitter pill has been stuck up
In your core for far too long
Maybe it's time you spit it out
And admitted that you were wrong
Is this it? Is this how it ends?
With your delusions making strangers
Out of friends and all the times I jumped to
Your defense when she left
Now you got me wondering if
I wasted my breath
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone (telephone)
Yeah (telephone)
Regret, time
Money and trouble are always on your mind
Building a great divide
Between the ones you share your history
And the fortress of your pride
Years have been unraveling
But, you seem much the same
And those doom tinted spectacles always
Suited you quite well anyway
Is this it? Is this how it ends?
You'd amputate your nose to
Spite your face again
And all the times I jumped to
Your defense when she'd gone
Now I'm closer to believing that I was wrong
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone (telephone)
Yeah (telephone)
We could have turned a page but
You went and burned the book
Tell me you don't recall the days when
A call is all it took
You could pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone
You could pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
(Telephone)
Is this it? Is this how it ends?
With your delusions making strangers
Out of friends out of friends
(Telephone)
Green is the color of your paranoia's eyes
You're becoming one of those guys
Who sees serpents in every shadow
Hiding in the grassy knoll
And that bitter pill has been stuck up
In your core for far too long
Maybe it's time you spit it out
And admitted that you were wrong
Is this it? Is this how it ends?
With your delusions making strangers
Out of friends and all the times I jumped to
Your defense when she left
Now you got me wondering if
I wasted my breath
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone (telephone)
Yeah (telephone)
Regret, time
Money and trouble are always on your mind
Building a great divide
Between the ones you share your history
And the fortress of your pride
Years have been unraveling
But, you seem much the same
And those doom tinted spectacles always
Suited you quite well anyway
Is this it? Is this how it ends?
You'd amputate your nose to
Spite your face again
And all the times I jumped to
Your defense when she'd gone
Now I'm closer to believing that I was wrong
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone (telephone)

Pick up that lonely telephone
You could pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah
Pick up that lonely telephone, yeah

With your delusions making strangers
Out of friends out of friends
