Michael Franks When Sly Calls Lyrics

When Sly Calls lyrics

When Sly calls,
The profit 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

(Don't touch that phone
don't touch that phone
don't touch that phone
Don't touch that phone
don't touch that phone
don't touch that phone)

I am not here,
I'm making my escape
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/michael-franks-lyrics/when-sly-calls-lyrics.html ]
The me you hear,
Is magnetized on tape
I'm flying south,
For snorkeling 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.

When Sly calls,
It's tit for tat
When Sly calls,
It's rat eat rat
The sky falls,
The signal fades
I lock the door and shut the shades.

And contemplate the crystal blue familiar funk I'm plunged into
When Sly calls
