Round and round the dial turns
Your finger itches but your vanity hurts
So you cross your friends off one by one
Either they're busy or they are no fun

Well, you can call me whenever you want
You can call me if your mouth needs to run

Your number's up it's by request
Do you have something to confess?
I'm out of touch you're out of breath
Do you have something to confess?

Here come the swooping hawks down blocks we've all forgotten
Clutching old friends in their talons
Down from the sky to the way back of his mind
To pick it clean, to leave nothing behind

They go from high school to high class to higher than highnesses
They're casting spells can't you tell we're helpless
Hard to recover for the dusty antique lover
But for one thing there is always another

Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be do
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo

Guess were all in trouble, huh?
Black clouds are upon us
Its doomsday on the other side of town.
That boy survived a severed head
When most would just give up for dead,
So I said: "Al B. dont get so upset."
We all get scared of sticking out our necks
Its expected!

So panic.
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo be do
So panic.
Ba ba ba, ba ba sha-doo

I can swear I feel the beating of a cold cold heart
Or there's a chill, 'cause it's showing through your clothing
And as far as I can tell
There's nothing underneath your v-neck tee
I'm begging I'm begging
I'm begging you please now

Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know
Won't you stop teasing me
Won't you take it easy
Tell me 'cause I'd like to know

My eyes go where I say so but not always
And not when you walked by
And my feet move where I tell them to
But not when they are chasing after you
And now I just don't know what I should do
I'm twisted all around like some cartoon
But I don't mind no I don't mind
Just stay close by like, all the time
'Cause either I bleed dry
Or keep this thorn in my side
But I don't mind

All these winter days barely go by
All the light has gone I don't know why
Now I need a friend to do me right
Or right on in

You need a helping hand to hold
To lead you out to take control!

Come and visit
Leave yourself for somebody else
'Cause I'm a prison
Leave yourself for somebody else

When your heart beats under your skin
This time don't be so afraid of losing it!

Behind the glass
I watched the world
From cracks the blinds make when they're drawn
I watched the world for years this way
And that catches us up to this moment today
Quarantine
The rock and the hard place I'm between
Quarantine
Quarantine
Quarantine
And it was you I did this for
I put the dead bolt on the door
Understand I can't see you now

Go on and pull yourself up
We climb, we climb, we climb, we climb
Down there they get you, down there
Again and again, forever and ever
Go on and give it a tug
Go on, pull up, I know it's tough
But down there it's deeper than deep
That hole is so steep
And things are heavier

Hear it now, the night is calling us
Wave your hands and summon the spirits up
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Hey!
Arms of the ocean reach out for you!
Rusty pipes
Cant help calling for you too!
The brine is finer than wine,
But be careful not to drink too much,
Cause there are remains on the bottom of that cup.
If you fear youve had enough
Of that salty stuff,
Im on the beach
Reading a book.
Lost in a page.
Lost for an age.
I could be your bonfire
And you could be my ship out at sea
Look,
