The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well call me on my landline
I ain't gonna answer
I can't talk to robots
I can't take those chances
A landline's better than a landmine
I guess I'll take my chances
You'll find the bodies buried
Right on down the road
Right between the landmines
Ready to explode
Landlords and lawyers on the front line
Stompin' on those landmines
So, watch where you walk
Tread light
You better watch your step
One step at a time
You're walkin' through that field of landmines
Your papa was a preacher
Your mama was a dancer
You never know
They're pretty old
They might have the answer
Left a slice out last night
Might be right where the ants were
Eggshells and earthquakes
Crackin' under foot
You never know
When she might blow
The devil's on the loose
The telephone is ringin'
I don't need bad news
So, watch where you walk
Tread light
You better watch your step
One step at a time
When you're walkin' through a field of landmines
Well a landline's better than a landmine
This much I know
So, call me on my landline
I don't have a phone
A landline's better than a landmine
That's one thing fosho
So, watch where you walk
Tread light
Watch your step
One step at a time
You're walkin' through a field of landmines (landmines)
