Lyrics

Callgirls

[Verse 1]

Forgetful girls, with no thoughts put into action

The world's your distraction while you're asleep at the wheel

Forgetful girl, you've become a mother

Surroundings tend to suffer when the fiction is real

[Chorus]

I can't lie, I'm unable to pretend

I'm unable to defend your actions

I can't lie, I'm unable to pretend

I'm unable to defend your actions

[Verse 2]

Psychic girl, where's my happy ending

Your method's patent pending so what can't I smile

Psychic girl, caught between the rails

Your heart's still not in it at three dollars a minute

[Chorus]

Now I can't lie, I'm unable to pretend

I'm unable to defend your actions

I can't lie, I'm unable to pretend

I'm unable to defend your actions

Not able to defend your actions

I'm unable to defend your actions

I'm unable to defend your actions

[Break]

[Verse 3]

Lovetalk girl, I'll pin up your photo

And direct my video like I was Aerosmith

Lovetalk girl, to further waste my tissue and time

I'll remain on the line 'til you get off with me

[Chorus]

Now I can't lie, I'm unable to pretend

I'm unable to defend your actions

I can't lie, I'm unable to pretend

I'm unable to defend your actions

Not able to defend your actions

I'm unable to defend your actions

I'm unable to defend your actions
