Hangin' on the Line Songtext

von The Ladybug Transistor

He's looking for her but she's been gone
Under the bridge of the Roman Wall
He's looking forward to taking a ride
North of the town country divide
But it's just a little more than he can pay

Now she's reading tea leaves in every cup
Tracing the lines from the bottom up
There's a telephone on the wall
She's got a hand in the final call

Now we're hangin' on the line
It's just a little daydream
Where we're hangin' on the line
Underpaid for all the plans we laid

So we wander, we wander

The string of lights in the doorway
The city key in your hand
A happening to your liking
So you wander back
A film on endless repeat
The counter's falling behind
And if he runs, he may catch her
He wonders why

We're writing stories that could be true
I know the cost, what it's costing you
So I've been stealing all of my lines
Straight from the school of new design
But they're just a little more than I can say

So get on a new wave, it's hard to miss
Dressed in nines and 66

Now we're changing all the time
It's just a little daydream
Where we're changing all the time
Underpaid for all the plans we laid

So we wander, we wander

The string of lights in the doorway
The city key in your hand
A happening to your liking
So you wander back
A film on endless repeat
The counter's falling behind
And if he runs, he may catch her
He wonders why
