This here is the place where I will be staying There isn't a number. You can call the pay phone Let it ring a long, long, long, long time If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more If I don't pick up, pick up. The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
(chorus) Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
There are scratches all around the coin slot Like a heartbeat, baby, trying to wake up, But this machine can only swallow money You can't lay a patch by computer design It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her, Tell her she can kiss my ass, then laugh and say that you were only kidding That way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me, me
(repeat chorus)
Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me Today I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantial A can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and ice, A candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss
(repeat chorus)
The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way, Always had a smile and a reason to pretend But their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her I can always sleep standing up, call me when you try to wake her
