Operator, operator,
|
I¡¯ve been calling you for hours,
|
But my signal¡¯s getting weak,
|
So I¡¯m turning these lights down.
|
|
I¡¯ve been circling the planet
|
At a million miles an hour,
|
And I thought I saw a flash
|
A billion neon sounds went out.
|
|
Operator, operator,
|
Won¡¯t you please, give me a sign?
|
Am I watching the world unwind?
|
|
Had you feel one day, feel for a thousand years,
|
I just keep playing this scene over in my mind.
|
I know that I¡¯m just a prisoner here,
|
I¡¯ll just keep playing this scene over and rewind.
|
|
Operator, take a message
|
At the guards are all in fire,
|
And they¡¯re slipping out the back door,
|
With more leaving every hour.
|
|
And all the streets we walked on
|
And everyone we loved,
|
Gone like ash on the morning air.
|
|
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
|
I¡¯m just starring at the sun,
|
Are we watching the world undone?
|
|
Had you feel one day, feel for a thousand years,
|
I just keep playing this scene over in my mind.
|
I know that I¡¯m just a prisoner here,
|
I¡¯ll just keep playing this scene over and rewind.
|
|
I¡¯ve been drawn by the sun,
|
And I am being drawn by the sun.
|
|
Operator, operator,
|
I¡¯ve been calling you for hours,
|
And I thought I saw a flash, billion voices just went out.
|
|
And all the streets we walked on
|
And everyone we loved
|
Gone like ash on the morning air.
|
|
Had you feel one day, feel for a thousand years,
|
I just keep playing this scene over in my mind.
|
I know that I¡¯m just a prisoner here,
|
I¡¯ll just keep playing this scene over and rewind.
