When Sly calls
|
The profit speaks
|
When Sly calls
|
The secret leaks
|
The sky falls
|
The dice are tossed
|
The war is won
|
The battle's lost
|
When Sly calls
|
It's thirteen takes
|
When Sly calls
|
The summer breaks
|
The sky falls
|
The rain begins
|
And on the box some Leon spins
|
To insulate me from the icy aftershock I feel each time
|
That Sly calls
|
(Don't touch the phone)
|
I am not here
|
I'm making my escape
|
The me you hear
|
Is magnetized on tape
|
I'm flying south
|
For snorkeling and sleep
|
(a Cote d'Azur)
|
Just leave your message when you hear the
|
(Don't you dare touch that phone)
|
When you hear the
|
(Don't you dare touch that phone)
|
When you hear the
|
(Don't you dare touch that phone)
|
When you hear the beep
|
When Sly calls
|
It's tit for tat
|
When Sly calls
|
It's rat eat rat
|
The sky falls
|
The signal fades
|
I lock the door and shut the shades
|
And contemplate the crystal blue familiar funk I'm plunged into
|
When Sly calls
|
