Calling Out To Carol Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Calling Out To Carol Lyrics

    Calling out to carol
    She could really twist the screws
    What'cha doin' monday
    And are you back on the booze?
    Now, i've been dooin' some thinkin'
    About colorado springs
    A dirty denim jacket
    And a seven-dollar ring

    Well, i've been keepin' busy
    I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
    Who's that in the background
    I'm sorry that i asked¨c¨ci guess i should have known

    Chorus:
    Callin' out to carol on the telephone call
    Message on a wire comin' through a wall
    Talk about old times but not too long ago
    Carol was the girl that everybody got to know

    When'd you change your number? hey, carol!
    It's different than you had
    Have you got protection?
    I know some police are bad
    But that's not why i called you up, now
    You know i quit that scene
    I told ya 'bout your pictures
    I guess i'll buy that magazine

    And i still remember
    All those days we spent alone
    You went one way while i went the other
    Sometimes, i guess, that's the way things go

    Chorus:
    Callin' out to carol on a telephone call
    Message on a wire comin' through a wall
    Talk about old times but not too long ago
    Carol was the girl that everybody got to know
    Callin' out to carol gets a busy tone
    Sees a lot of people but she lives alone
    Pick up the reciever¨c¨clove will come and go
    But carol was the girl that everybody got to know

    When they called me in the morning
    And told me that she'd gone
    I didn't want to hear it
    So i just hung up the phone

    Chorus:
    Callin' out¨c¨ccallin' out to carol
    Callin' out¨c¨ccallin' out to carol
    Callin' out¨c¨ccallin' out to carol
    Callin' out to carol
    Callin' out to carol on a telephone call
    Message on a wire comin' through a wall
    Is this line in service¨c¨coperator says no
    But carol was a girl that everybody got to know
