lyrics

Talkin' To The Dialtone

You gave me the message
You hung up the phone
I couldn't tell the difference
I was talking to a dial tone
You like to keep yourself surrounded
By books you've never read
Keep any thoughts from getting pounded
Into your head

Tell me baby, are you really gone?
Behind those big blue eyes I know the lights are on
But either you're not talking
Or no one's really home
These days talkin' to you
Is like talkin' to a dial tone

You wanna play the victim
You wanna break all the rules
You know it almost reminds me
Of a play back in school
So stand and deliver your lines
It's your turn at bat, girl
Tell me anything so I can figure
Just where you're at

Tell me baby, are you really gone?
Behind those big blue eyes I know the lights are on
But either you're not talking
Or no one's really home
Sometimes talkin' to you
Is like talkin' to a dial tone

So check it out darlin'
You better check it out fast
Sometimes it's harder than a diamond
To make love last
My silent partner, when we're on the telephone
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm talkin'

Tell me girlfriend, are you really gone?
Behind those big blue eyes I know that the lights are on
You don't want to talk about it
Least not on the telephone
I just found myself
Talkin' to a dial tone
