Lyrics

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 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 (Don't touch the phone) I am not here I'm making my escape The me you hear Is magnetized on tape I'm flying south For snorkeling and sleep (à Côte d'Azur) Just leave your message 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 (Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the beep When Sly calls It's tit for tat When Sly calls It's rat eat rat 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
