The telephone keeps ringing
but the only problem is
it isn't on my side (of the line)

Might as well be rusted cans
joined by a length of string
soaked in turpentine

She set fire to it and
with it to my heart so long ago

She's in her ivory treefort
while I watch in ashes from below


*first time posting any of my lyrics... but this came to my head an hour ago and im working on a Dylan-esque type song to accompany it... maybe get some feedback... ill post more versus as they come to me...

    She's an opportunist
    and in my case I'm always
    knocking more than twice

    It seems that lady luck
    is always on her side and
    hoarding all the dice

    Lord knows I'm not a gambler
    but I would make the bet

    Once she's through withdrawing
    she'll leave me here in debt
