Operator, you can forget about this call
There’s no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
You’ve been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime
Operator
Give me information
Information
Give me long distance
Long distance
Give me heaven…
Long distance run around
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye
I’m a million miles away
A million miles away
I’m just a million miles away
And there’s nothing left to bring me back today
93 million miles from the Sun, people get ready get ready,
'cause here it comes it’s a light, a beautiful light, over the horizon into our eyes
Oh, my my how beautiful, oh my beautiful mother
She told me, “Son in life you’re gonna go far, and if you do it right you’ll love where you are
Just know, that wherever you go, you can always come home”
By the look in your eye I can tell you’re gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I’m not worth it, you see
For I’m the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat that’s my home
Sweet darling
(You can leave your hat on)
Just leave your hat on, girl
A little wild man
(You can leave your hat on)
Leave your hat on
(You can leave your hat on)
(You can leave your hat on)
I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
I’ll do what you want me to do
I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do
Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock ‘n’ roll so you can move
Music fills your heart
Well, that’s a real fine place to start
It’s from me it’s for you
It’s from you, it’s for me
It’s a worldwide symphony
We fall, while aiming so high
We crawl, flying
Man has North, South, East and West
Man has, trying
A song for all seasons through
Now the power of the East is afraid of the West
And the poor man starve as the rich man get obsessed
So they’re piling up bombs in case the button gets pressed
A young world dies before my eyes
For it’s Kissinger in China, oh, it’s Kissinger in Cairo
and it’s Kissinger at NATO in the grand old power game
But the white bones of Allende tell another darker story
For you never got to Chile, but you killed it just the same
And the white bones of Allende and the scattered bones of Chile
Are the scream that breaks the silence of the thousands blown away
Oh, the white bones of Allende and the scattered bones of Chile
Are not silent, they are screaming, they’re your Peace Prize, Doctor K
The other night I dreamt a nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right? Right
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray, South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television, North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe
Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom, Brando, The King and I, and The Catcher in the Rye
Eisenhower, Vaccine, England’s got a new queen, Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye
Na-na na-na-na na na na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Hey hey-hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Good night to these wretched forms
All them gray eyes on the subway
So long before you were born
You were always to be a dagger floating
Straight to their heart
Comin’ straight on for you
You made my mind
Now I’m stronger, now I’m comin’ through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you
Poor, poor pitiful me.
Poor, poor pitiful me.
Oh these girls won’t let me be!
Lord have mercy on me.
Woe, woe is me
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Death, destruction, and despair
People dying everywhere
Happy Birthday (unhh)
Happy Birthday (unhh)
