The telephone keeps ringing in my dreams
But there's no one ever there to answer:
I say ‘Hello’ & the silence just screams.
Of course, I don't really know what it means;
I'd like to think it's some demon lover.
The telphone keeps ringing in my dreams.
My heart keeps creating lies of love scenes
But in the end, it just doesn't matter:
I say Hello & the silence just screams.
I listen for a voice which would explain
It to me; who would the silence shatter.
The telephone keeps ringing in my dreams.
I don't know why I'm telling you these things;
It's a madness which haunts me like Cancer —
I say Hello & the silence just screams.
The receiver is empty & some trees
Gag the line with leaves & light'ning laughter.
The telephone keeps ringing in my dreams;
I say “Hello” & the silence just screams.
