When The Telphone Melts lyrics
When the telephone melts
And it's still ringing your name 
When your shoes got holes 
And the sidewalk's not the same 
And you're falling down 
Then you can think about your mother 
Yes, and you can think about your friends 
But you can't blame me for not being around 
You know I told you long ago 
Before you grew so old 
That I wasn't made for claws falling on my face 
I say you knew it was a jungle 
And I was a man, had a place to go 
If you can't go with me 
Then I just don't know 
But I've thought about your humor 
When you laughed in my face 
You know I didn't mind 
When you stood on my hand 
And then I turned the tables around 
I thought it just another day 
I thought you saw it my way 
But oh, to my surprise 
There's a difference in your eyes 
And I thought it hard to find you 
Say you wandered astray 
Say you think you'll find a way 
But you can joke about me baby 
Yeah, you can say my name in vain 
Say my name in vain
