Lyrics

String and a Can
© 2008 Peterson & Dennihy. All Rights Reserved.

I haven't seen or heard from you
Maybe a month or maybe two
Then you call me right out of the blue
Oh, what am I supposed to do?

You'd like to see me everyday
But you're too busy, no time, no way
You promise me you'll make it someday
Oh, what am I supposed to say?

Still something takes me back to where it began
A hope, a wish, an ala-kazam
Just like a kid with a string and a can
I hear you, but I can't understand
Time to hang up, this string and this can.

I cannot see you, I can't comprehend
We miss new haircuts, no hand to lend

I should hang up the phone, make something up fast
I gotta run out the door, but I can't react

Still something takes me back to where it began
A hope, a wish, an ala-kazam
Just like a kid with a string and a can
I hear you, but I can't understand
Time to hang up, this string and this can.

{guitar solo} repeat chorus over solo instrumentation:

Still something takes me back to where it began.
A hope, a wish, an ala-kazam.
Just like a kid with a string and a can,
I hear you, but I can't understand.
I hear you, but I can't understand.
Time to hang up, this string and this can.
. . . Time to hang up, this string and this can.
