Stan Ridgway - Call Box lyrics

I press the bu*tons now Voice keeps poppin' on the call box out Mop-man, do you receive? Ten-four, I gotta pull out I got an ETA, five-thirty on the dot A little bit later, it'll thicken the plot Chorus: They always tell me what's not is not I just gotta get that 1-2-3 It's funny how these things always happen to me I just gotta get that 1-2-3 Now, by the force of circumstance And by the belt that holds up my pants I'm held responsible For this idea that never had a chance When they call out the guard tonight He'll cut the alarm and switch off the light Chorus: I get a funny feeling that wrong is right I just gotta get that 1-2-3 It's funny how these things always happen to me I just gotta get that 1-2-3 1 2 3 A B C Like you and me Like 1 2 3 1 2 3 1-2-3 A B C 1-2-3 1 2 3 1-2-3 It's a combination... I press the bu*tons noooooooow... I press the bu*tons now Voice keeps poppin' on the call box out Mop-man, do you receive? Ten-four, I gotta pull out I got an ETA, five-thirty on the dot A little bit later, it'll thicken the plot Chorus: They always tell me what's not is not I just I gotta get that 1-2-3 It's funny how these things always happen to me I guess I gotta get that 1-2-3 1 2 3 A B C Like you and me Like 1 2 3 Not is not Not-is-not Not is not Not is not
