When Sly Calls (Don’t Touch That Phone) Michael Franks

[Verse 1]
When Sly calls, the prophet speaks
When Sly calls, the secret leaks
The sky falls, the dice are tossed
The war is won, the battle's lost
When Sly calls, it's thirteen takes
When Sly calls, the summer breaks
The sky falls, the rain begins
And on the box some Leon spins
To insulate me from the icy aftershock I feel each time
That Sly calls...

[Refrain]
(Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)

[Chorus]
I am not here, I'm making my escape
The me you hear is magnetised on tape
I'm flying south for snorkelling and sleep, à Côte d'Azur
Just leave your message when you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone)
When you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone)
When you hear the
(Don't you dare touch that phone)
When you hear the beep
