This here is the place where I will be staying
There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up and call back, let it ring some more
If I don't pick up, pick up
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's all a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her
Tell her she can kiss my ass
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me, me
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something more sub, sub, sub, substantial
A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, [Incomprehensible] or a reading of Doctor Seuss
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way
Always had a smile and a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Call me when you try to wake her up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
I can always sleep standing up
(Call me when you try to wake her up)
Move, move, move, move on this one
