Adrian Belew:Phone Call From The Moon

"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"
