Calling Out to Carol — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Calling out to carol

She could really twist the screws

Whatcha doin monday

And are you back on the booze?

Now, Ive been dooin some thinkin

About colorado springs

A dirty denim jacket

And a seven-dollar ring



Well, Ive been keepin busy

Ive got lots of pots boiling on the stove

Whos that in the background

Im sorry that I askedcci guess I should have known



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



Whend you change your number? hey, carol!

Its different than you had

Have you got protection?

I know some police are bad

But thats not why I called you up, now

You know I quit that scene

I told ya bout your pictures

I guess Ill 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, thats 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 recievercclove will come and go

But carol was the girl that everybody got to know



When they called me in the morning

And told me that shed gone

I didnt want to hear it

So I just hung up the phone



Chorus:

Callin outcccallin out to carol

Callin outcccallin out to carol

Callin outcccallin out to carol

Callin out to carol

Callin out to carol on a telephone call

Message on a wire comin through a wall

Is this line in serviceccoperator says no

But carol was a girl that everybody got to know
