The Red Telephone

Verse 1:

Sitting on a hillside

Watching all the people die

I'll feel much better on the other side

I'll thumb a ride



Verse 2/3:

I believe in magic

Why, because it is so quick

I don't need power when I'm hypnotized

Look in my eyes

What are you seeing (i see...)

How do you feel?

(...you)

I feel real phony when my name is Phil

Or was that Bill?



Bridge:

Life goes on here

Day after day

I don't know if I am living or if I'm

Supposed to be

Sometimes my life is so eerie

And if you think I'm unhappy

Paint me (white)(yellow)



I've been here once

I've been here twice

I don't know if the third's the fourth or if the -

The fifth's to fix

Sometimes I deal with numbers

And if you wanna count me

Count me out



Verse 4:

I don't need the time of day

Anytime with me's ok

I just don't want you using up my time

'cause that's not right



Coda:

[repeat 3x:]

Ahh....

[repeat 3x:]

They're locking them up today

They're throwing away the key

I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me?

We're all normal and we want our freedom

Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom

Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom

[continue with am - a progression as above, to fade]

(spoken:) alla god's chilluns gotta have dere freedom
