Dial Tone Ghost (American Teenager Prank Calls)

Intro

(Ring ring)

(Ring ring)

Hello

Yeah hello

Verse 1

Got your digits from a bathroom stall

By the sink

Wondering if your refrigerator is running

Better catch it fast

Is this Mike

Mike Who

Pre-Chorus

Phone cord tangled up like a snake

Giggling while the grown-ups sleep

Watching the clock strike three

Chorus

Operator patch me through to another world

Pick it up

Pick it up

I am just a phantom voice in your ear

Pick it up

Pick it up

Nothing to lose when I hang it up

Nothing to lose

Nothing to lose

Post-Chorus

Click click buzz

Click click buzz

Hello

Who is there

Verse 2

Cereal boxes stacked high on the kitchen table

The lights stay low

Seven digits are a magic trick

Spinning the plastic dial

Does your nose leak

Then I guess you are a faucet

Pre-Chorus

Phone cord tangled up like a snake

Giggling while the grown-ups sleep

Watching the clock strike three

Chorus

Operator patch me through to another world

Pick it up

Pick it up

I am just a phantom voice in your ear

Pick it up

Pick it up

Nothing to lose when I hang it up

Nothing to lose

Nothing to lose

Bridge

Breath on the receiver

Waiting for the anger

Waiting for the shout

Don't hang up yet

I am lonely

I am bored

I am young

Instrumental Break

Verse 3

Dial tone humming like a steady beehive

Static on the line

Is Mrs. Pringle there

Well her husband is outside

Looking for a clue

Running out of quarters

Pre-Chorus

Phone cord tangled up like a snake

Giggling while the grown-ups sleep

Watching the clock strike three

Chorus

Operator patch me through to another world

Pick it up

Pick it up

I am just a phantom voice in your ear

Pick it up

Pick it up

Nothing to lose when I hang it up

Nothing to lose

Nothing to lose

Post-Chorus

Click click buzz

Click click buzz

Who is there

Is anyone there

Chorus

Operator patch me through to another world

Pick it up

Pick it up

I am just a phantom voice in your ear

Pick it up

Pick it up

Nothing to lose when I hang it up

Nothing to lose

Nothing to lose

Hook

Seven digits away

Seven digits away

Maybe I am you

Maybe I am him

Maybe I am nothing
