Telephone calls

Apartment a is at it again

Paper thin walls

She's been sleeping around with other men

And other women

But right about now her head is swimming

He's breakin' up the furniture

Screamin' and a yellin'

About to beat the hell outta her



Chorus 1

Television ringin' in my ear

I've been thinkin'

Haven't had a break in 20 years

I've been drinkin'



Telephone calls

Insanity is just another ring away

I get the paper

Take a look at it every single day

Another episode

Another life flushed down the camode(spelling? )

We're all carrying such a heavy load

I get no slack

It's breakin' my back



Chorus 2

Television ringin' in my earI've been drinkin'

Haven't had a break in 20 years

I've been thinkin' get me out of here..

'til the coast is clear



Television ringin'in my earI've been thinkin'

Haven't had a break in 20 years

I keep drinkin' television ringin' in my ear

I keep drinkin' liquorwineand beer

I've been thinkin'

Get me out of here

I've been thinkin'..
