lyrics

Let me call you on my land line oh
We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline
freedom on a landline

Track the letter that I wrote to the post office
on the stamp you’ll find the kiss that I laid on it
Wrote every word like a tear jerking effigy
Read between the lines salt water drip it on me

I not the only one
With purple flavor applesauce
Die pushing going pay for it all at once
If I’m the only one barking up the right tree
dial up your number kickback you talking at me

Let me call you on my land line oh
We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline
freedom on a landline

Digging up the dirt like Indiana Dr. Jones
breathing hard getting freaky with the dial tone
Twist the cord round my finger till I can’t see
1100 hz is my real time frequency.

Damn hooker you look right to me
From the posterboard to the l.E.D.
Sign my up AT&T
R U O K
L M N O P

Let me call you on my land line oh
We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline
freedom on a landline

You in my eyes and my chest like a heart donor
Blood fizzles bubbles up now it’s spilling over
Say hi trouble sauce you a dead ringer
Dial up you dirty little digits with my middle finger

Aisle 9 clean up no you don’t stop
I fond I’m pushing all the QTs with my wrist watch.
You and me we getting hot by the A.C.
We on the landline, you talking at me.

Let me call you on my land line oh
We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline
freedom on a landline

Let me call you on my land line oh
We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline
freedom on a landline
