Lyrics

Can’t Put Down the Phone
Words and Music By Tim Lacy

Itchy fingers and thoughts that linger, that number’s etched inside my brain.
There’s no damage if I can manage to tell the law know I’m not sane

You can’t see me but, You can hear me, You can’t feel me,
but time is all I got and it ain’t on my side

And I’m runnin up bills on a phony exchange but I can’t put down the phone
You know it’s a lie if I said I could change but I can’t put down the phone
Speed dial, re-dial gotta keep it short cause I can’t put down the phone
Touch tone lust is the thrill I must have, I can’t put down the phone

Hello, Goodbye, it’s not like I try to keep my habits at bay
Yellow pages and vocal rages I’ll hang-up girl I’ll start it again

You can’t see me, but you can hear me, you can’t feel me,
and time is all I got but it ain”t on my side

And I’m runnin up bills on a phony exchange but I can’t put down the phone
You know it’s a lie if I said I could change but I can’t put down the phone
Speed dial, re-dial gotta keep it short cause I can’t put down the phone
Touch tone lust is the thrill I must have and I can’t put down the phone


Handheld landmines and mixing LAN lines,You’re breakin’ up the static is lame
1-800, it sounds so pungent, ready or not I’m playin the game

You can’t see me, but you can hear me, you can’t feel me,
and time is all I got but it ain”t on my side

And I’m runnin up bills on a phony exchange but I can’t put down the phone
You know it’s a lie if I said I could change but I can’t put down the phone
Speed dial, re-dial gotta keep it short cause I can’t put down the phone
Touch tone lust is the thrill I must have and I can’t put down the phone
