Phone Call from the Moon - Adrian Belew

«Hello, honey, I hope I didn’t wake you up

But I had to hear your voice

I’m standing in another phone booth

Somewhere on the moon

I’m alright, I guess, except for all the stuff I miss

The things we used to do

I never knew I could be this blue

It’s so quiet here

Like the stars are sayin'

«shh, be quiet»

So, how are the kids?

Did I miss his birthday again?

Aw, no… could you tell him I’m sorry

Sometimes my mind gets blurry

And I lose all sense of time

Time moves slowly

Like the curve of the earth

Aw, honey, I wish I really could

Reach out and touch you… but that’s not real

Like the moon is blue… like this lonely view

From a sad phone… out here on the moon

And it feels like one long lonely night

You know what I mean

That’s why I called"
