Phones Are Ringin' All Over Town

(marc beeson/kin vassey/david mackechnie)



With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume

He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed

With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep

But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothing to be said



He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night

If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again

But the phone just keeps on ringin' and knows something's wrong

He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begins to spin



Chorus:

Phones are ringin' all over town

North and south and east and west on main street up and down

He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers

But she's nowhere to be found

Phones are ringin' all over town



He calls the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair

God, if somethin' ever happened he'd surely lose his mind

And he's thinkin' it's just like she's disappeared into thin air

As american flight #204 departs right on time



Repeat chorus



Well he knows she'd never leave him

She's just got to be around

Phones are ringin'

Phones are ringin'

Phones are ringin' all over town
