If the phone never stops ringing
how come I'm so alone
hypnotized by my hectic life
a world in overload
all these business conversations
well they're burning me out
I could really use a friend to come around
But everything is breaking down
everyone knows I'm losing ground
when my phone rings it's really not for me
No, it's another dead line gone
It's another thing I've done wrong
And I want to talk so desperately
but when the phone rings, it's really not for me
It might seem a little selfish
I might seem a little vain
I understand that we're all working
putting out life's grand old flames
But for just a simple moment
I want to feel human again
Maybe we can talk about the weather
or how I've been
But everything is breaking down
Everyone knows I'm losing ground
when my phone rings it's really not for me
No, it's another dead line gone
It's another thing that I've done wrong
and I want to talk so desperately
but when the phone rings it's really not for me
Leave a message and I'll soon arrive
I'm barely breathing, but I'll survive
need a break and need some time
I'm out of here
I'm out of here
Well everything is breaking down
Everyone knows I'm losing ground
But when my phone rings it's really not for me
No, it's another dead line gone
It's another thing that I've done wrong
and I want to talk so desperately
Man I need to talk so desperately
When the phone rings it's really not for me
