Phone Call From The Moon

Adrian Belew · Young Lions [1990]

Hello



Hello, honey, I hope I didn't wake you up

But I had to hear your voice

I'm standing in another phone booth

Somewhere on the moon



I'm alright, I guess

Except for all the stuff I miss

The things we used to do

I never knew I could be this blue



It's so quiet here

Like the stars are sayin'

"Shh, be quiet"



So, how are the kids?

Did I miss his birthday again?

Aw, no could you tell him I'm sorry

Sometimes my mind gets blurry

And I lose all sense of time



Time moves slowly

Like the curve of the earth



Aw, honey, I wish I really could

Reach out and touch you but that's not real

Like the moon is blue like this lonely view

From a sad phone out here on the moon



And it feels like one long lonely night

Ah, you know what I mean

That's why I called
