Stan Ridgway Calling Out To Carol
Calling out to Carol She could really twist the screws What cha doin' Monday And are you back on the booze? now I been doin' some thinkin' 'Bout Colorado Springs A dirty deim jacket, and a seven dollar ring Well I've been keeping busy I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove Who's that in the background? I'm sorry that I asked I guess I should have known CHORUS Calling out to Carol on a telephone call Message on a wire comin' through a wall Talk about old times but not too long ago Carol was the girl that everybody got to know When'd you change your number? Hey, Carol! It's different than you had Have you got protection? I know some police are bad But that's not why I called you up now You know, I quit the scene I told ya 'bout your pictures I guess I'll buy that magazine And I still remember all those days we spent alone You went one way while I went the other Sometims I guess that's the way things go CHORUS Calling out to Carol gets a busy tone Sees a lot of people but she lives alone Pick up the receiver, love will come and go 'Cause Carol was a girl that everybody got to know When they called me in the morning And told me that she'd gone i didn't want to hear it So I just hung up the phone Calling out to Carol on a telephone call Message on a wire comin' through a wall Is this line in service? Operator says no But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know ---------------------------------------------------------
