Hangup - Ron Thal

Guess who calls you up sometimes and then hangs up the phone

You wonderin' if you did wrong to someone you know

I only call you when I think you won’t be home

But when I hear your voice I hang up the telephone

In my imagination I know what to say

Deep in my mental antisocial games I play

I want to talk to you but I can’t get past your sweet hello

And when I hear your voice I hang up the telephone

It would be quite advantageous if I could be more courageous

So many things I want to tell you, maybe someday I may just

I always call you when I’m feelin' all alone

But when I hear your voice I hang up the telephone

What do I do when I call you up?

(Hang up!)

I pretend I’m talkin' and my voice sounds like a dial tone

Can’t deal with it or without it, my excuse is dry as bone

I go to pieces and my blood turns into fire — ha

I’m burnin' up inside consumed by my own desire

I wanna get with you but you’ll never love a liar

I am the loser — the abuser of the wire

I’m holdin' on to you by hangin' on your stiffing drone

But when I hear your voice I fall into a silent hole

I only call you when I think you won’t be home

But when I hear your voice I hang up the telephone

What do I do when I call you up?

(Hang up!)

Hello?
