Paroles
[Verse 1]
When Sly calls, the profit speaks
When Sly calls, the secret leaks
The sky falls, the dice are tossed
The war is won, the battle's lost
[Verse 2]
When Sly calls, it's thirteen takes
When Sly calls, the summer breaks
The sky falls, the rain begins
And on the box some Leon spins
To insulate me from the icy aftershock I feel each time
That Sly calls
[Verse 3]
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
[Verse 4]
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
[Verse 5]
(Don't touch that phone)
I am not here
I'm makin' my escape
The me you hear
Is magnetized on tape
I'm flyin' south
For snorkeling and sleep
Just leave your message
When you hear the
[Verse 6]
(Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the beep
[Verse 7]
(Hello, Michael, this is Sly, man)
(Call me back right away 'cause I got some bad news for you, bro)
[Verse 8]
When Sly calls, it's tit for tat
When Sly calls, it's rat eat rat
The sky falls, the thunder claps
I see my house of cards collapse
[Verse 9]
When Sly calls, the muse gets jammed
When Sly calls, the best laid plans
The sky falls, the signal fades
I lock the door and shut the shades
And contemplate the crystal blue familiar funk I'm plunged into
When Sly calls
[Verse 10]
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
[Verse 11]
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
[Verse 12]
(Don't touch that phone)
I am not here
I'm making my escape
The me you hear
Is magnetized on tape
I'm flyin' south
For snorkeling and sleep
À Côte d'Azur
Just leave your message when you hear the
[Verse 13]
(Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the beep
[Verse 14]
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)...
