Operator please
Put me back on the line
Told my girl I’d be back
Operator please
This is wreckin’ my mind
Operator, well let’s forget about this call
There’s no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time, ah, you’ve been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime
No need to ask, he’s a smooth operator.
Operator, operater…
And there’s no reply at all
There’s no reply at all
No no no no, I don’t smoke it no more
I’m tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please
I woke up in a Soho doorway
The policeman knew my name
He said, “You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away”
And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You’re not to blame
Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road
But the day breaks instead so you hurry home
Don’t let the sun blast your shadow
Don’t let the milk float ride your mind
You’re so natural - religiously unkind
Just act naturally…
Mystic rhythms
Capture my thoughts, carry them away
Nature seems to spin a supernatural way
I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
More than this, you know there’s nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there’s nothing
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something
If I had to choose just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday
The day that I met you
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can’t remember where or when
Oh it’s such a perfect day
I’m glad I spent it with you
Oh I believe in Yesterday
Did you ever see Dallas from a DC-9 at night?
Well Dallas is a jewel, oh yeah, Dallas is a beautiful sight.
And Dallas is a jungle but Dallas gives a beautiful light.
(I have actually flown into Dallas at night… and it really was a beautiful sight. Hot. But, beautiful.)
