Operator

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 for one day, fit 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 for one day, fit 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 for one day, fit 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.
