When the Telephone Melts

When the telephone melts
And it’s still ringing your name
When your shoes got holes
And the sidewalk’s not the same
And you’re falling down
Then you can think about your mother
Yes and you can think about your friends
But you can’t blame me for not being around
You know I told you long ago
Before you grew so old
That I wasn’t made for claws fallin’ on my face
I say you knew it was a jungle
And I was a man
Had a place to go
If you can’t go with me
Then I just don’t know
But I’m wild about your humor
When you laughed in my face
You ohh you know I didn’t mind
When you stood on my head
And then I turned the tables ‘round
I thought it just another day
Ahh I thought you saw it my way
But oh to my surprise
There’s a difference in your eyes
And I find it hard to find you
Say you want an ashtray
Say you think you found the way
Well you can joke about me baby
Yeah you can say my name in vain
Say my name in vain
