When The Telphone 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 falling 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've thought about your humor

When you laughed in my face

You know I didn't mind

When you stood on my hand

And then I turned the tables around

I thought it just another day

I thought you saw it my way

But oh, to my surprise

There's a difference in your eyes

And I thought it hard to find you

Say you wandered astray

Say you think you'll find a way

But you can joke about me baby

Yeah, you can say my name in vain

Say my name in vain
