Love The Red Telephone Lyrics:
[Verse 1:]
Sitting on a hillside,
Watching all the people die.
I'll feel much better on the other side.
I'll thumb a ride.

[Verse 2:]
I believe in magic.
Why? Because it is so quick.
I don't need power when I'm hypnotized.
Look in my eyes.
What are you seeing?
(I see...)
How do you feel?
I feel real phony when my name is Phil.
Or was that Bill?

[Instrumental break.]

[Backup singers: "Sha-lala, la-la, la-la-la/Sha-lala, la-la-la-la-la-la" over
the first line of the bridge.]

[Bridge:]
Life goes on here day after day.
I don't know if I am living,
Or if I'm Supposed to be.
Sometimes my life is so eerie,
And if you think I'm happy.
Paint me white/(yellow).

[Backup singers: "Sha-lala, la-la, la-la-la/Sha-lala, la-la-la-la-la-la" over
the first two lines of the next verse.]

[Verse 3:]
I've been here once.
I've been here twice.
I don't know if the third's the fourth,
Or if the fifth's to fix.
Sometimes I deal with numbers,
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/5xjN ]
And if you wanna count me.
Count me out.

[Verse 4:]
I don't need the times of day.
Anytime with me's OK.
I just don't want you usin' up my time.
'Cause that's not right.

[Coda:]
Ahhhh.
Ahhhh.
Ahh-ahh-ahh.

[Chanted in a sing-song fashion:]
They're locking them up today.
They're throwin' away the key.
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow,
You or me?

They're locking them up today.
They're throwin' away the key.
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow,
You or me?

They're locking them up today.
They're throwin' away the key.
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow,
You or me?

We're all normal and we want our freedom.
Freedom, freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom, freedom.
I want my freedom.

[Spoken:]
Alla God's chilluns gotta have dere freedom.
