Operator Songtext

von Louden Swain

The street smells like glycerin
There's something sweet on me tonight
And my brother's bike
The air is like honey
It's thick and it's stickin' to my ride
The peddles stop at the dial tone
Got no quarters to atone
From my pay phone, so alone
That's why I'm (?), oh
Operator

Age is a numbers game
That I lost cause you're throwing me away
Why judge a guy by his birthday
Is that you pagin' me
I know I'm lame but I'm only 23
I'll get a phone when I need one
Dial tone
Got no quarters to atone
From my pay phone, so alone
That's why I'm (?), oh

Operator

Won't you take me now

It's the only moment that I know
Won't you please accept my (?)

This was a bad idea
And now I'm really late for work
I'm just a grocery clerk
It's just a stop for me
On the greater highway that I see
My whole life's ahead of me
Dial tone
Got no quarters to atone
From my pay phone, so alone
That's why I'm (?), oh
Operator
Operator
Operator
