out of the clouds
comes a fistful of rain
down to the subway
onto the train
straight to your cell
for the latest word
over the river
and to the birds

as a rotary phone
spins back in position
rotary phone
TWilight 5-5431

the sun breaks through
on the avenue
polish our fangs and we
buckle our shoes
trailing the ass pants
for seven blocks
ghosts of the hoop skirts
and bobby sox

as a rotary phone
spins back in position
row row row
SUnset 5-5431

left to right
from track to track
two steps forward
one step back
til one more day i
s all you want
one more day
is all you want

hold your breath
and hope to die
til it looks you
in the eye and
one more day i
s all you want
one more day
is all you want

one more day
is all you want

cold enough now
you can see your breath
one bone explorer
has just turned left
as one bell rings
and your bubble bursts
pumpkin remains
on november 1st

as a rotary phone
spins back in position
ro ro rotary
