i wonder what the world felt like
before the invention of the telephone
when being alone was really alone
operator please connect me
i'm having trouble finding time
to find them in the new directory
there's nothing under lemon lime
there's nothing under seven thirty
there's nothing under loosing sleep
there's nothing under ape or dirty
there's nothing under promise to keep
i wonder where a person went too
before the grocers opened all night long
and the radio played dead air, no song
i wonder if i'm fading slowly
before the morning light can arrive
and if i'm even still alive
