Lonely Telephone

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 its 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) [x8]

Is this it?

Is this how it ends?

With your delusions making strangers out of friends

Out of friends
