Calling Out To Carol

Stan Ridgway

    Continues after the ad

    Calling out to Carol
    She could really twist the screws
    What cha doin' Monday
    And are you back on the booze?
    now I been doin' some thinkin'
    'Bout Colorado Springs
    A dirty deim jacket, and a seven dollar ring

    Well I've been keeping busy
    I've got lots of pots boiling on the stove
    Who's that in the background?
    I'm sorry that I asked
    I guess I should have known

    CHORUS
    Calling 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

    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 the scene
    I told ya 'bout your pictures
    I guess I'll buy that magazine

    Continues after the ad

    And I still remember all those days we spent alone
    You went one way while I went the other
    Sometims I guess that's the way things go

    CHORUS

    Calling out to Carol gets a busy tone
    Sees a lot of people but she lives alone
    Pick up the receiver, love will come and go
    'Cause Carol was a 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

    Calling out to Carol on a telephone call
    Message on a wire comin' through a wall
    Is this line in service?
    Operator says no
    But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know
