Telephone Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

[Refrain]
Paper and wire killed my brother and my sister too
And if you don't watch out
You know they're going to get you too
And if I don't watch out
You know they're going to get me too
Telephone, telephone
Telephone, telephone

[Verse 1]
Well I strangled the cord
Ripped it off of the phone
And I saw the bone
And I saw the twinkling lights
And it must have been rats
'Cause it sure was a drone
Sure was a drag

[Refrain]
Paper and wire killed my brother and my sister too
And if you don't watch out
You know they're going to get you
And if I don't watch out
You know they're going to get me too
Telephone, telephone, telephone
