Stan Ridgway - Calling Out To Carol lyrics

Calling out to carol She could really twist the screws What'cha doin' monday And are you back on the booze? Now, i've been dooin' some thinkin' About colorado springs A dirty denim jacket And a seven-dollar ring Well, i've been keepin' busy I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove Who's that in the background I'm sorry that i asked Chorus: Callin' out to carol on the telephone call Message on a wire comin' through a wall Talk about old times but not too long ago Carol was the girl that everybody got to know When'd you change your number? hey, carol! It's different than you had Have you got protection? I know some police are bad But that's not why i called you up, now You know i quit that scene I told ya 'bout your pictures I guess i'll buy that magazine And i still remember All those days we spent alone You went one way while i went the other Sometimes, i guess, that's the way things go Chorus: Callin' out to carol on a telephone call Message on a wire comin' through a wall Talk about old times but not too long ago Carol was the girl that everybody got to know Callin' out to carol gets a busy tone Sees a lot of people but she lives alone Pick up the reciever But carol was the girl that everybody got to know When they called me in the morning And told me that she'd gone I didn't want to hear it So i just hung up the phone Chorus: Callin' out Callin' out Callin' out Callin' out to carol Callin' out to carol on a telephone call Message on a wire comin' through a wall Is this line in service But carol was a girl that everybody got to know
