Phone Booth
Someone Keeps calling up that payphone
That was seemingly abandoned back somewhere in 2002
It's like their looking for a drug deal
From a memory that's ancient
Blind and desperate but it fell through
The ringing's haunting and INCESSANT
PERSISTENT and unpleasant
a prayer that drops and spirits never move
that man just threw away his briefcase
Ripped off his shirt and glasses
but he sure as hell ain't coming to save you
eye's down, isolated in a booth full of folly
a hurry to nowhere with time down the drain
Dead sea scroll and throw up the wisdom
to fill up the head with a sugary brain
This city was once a place for heroes
Leapt off the tallest buildings
but now the jumpers are just falling flat
GRAFFITIED cocks and broken glass
yellow pages in the trash
no one there to answer
no one to call back
eye's down, isolated in a booth full of folly
a hurry to nowhere with time down the drain
Dead sea scroll and throw up the wisdom
to fill up the head with a sugary brain
