Paula Cole Calling All Saviors Lyrics

[Intro]
Calling, calling
Calling, calling

[Verse 1]
This is a 911, what is my location?
This is an SOS, a white flag for my state of being
Oh, dear God, are you listening to me on the phone?
All I ever hear is your dial tone

[Chorus]
Calling all saviors, superheroes, paramedics
Calling all martyrs, miracles and anesthetics
Calling, calling
[Verse 2]
I need novocaine, just shoot it in my heart
I feel too much all the time, I can't take anymore
Oh, dear God, do you hear me and hear the cries?
The air we breathe is poison, the innocents die

[Chorus]
Calling all saviors, superheroes, paramеdics
Calling all martyrs, miracles and anesthetics Calling, calling

[Bridge]
Thеre I go, there I go, I am outside myself, down below
I am floating away on a cloud tethered only by hope
Come back to earth...
Calling, calling

[Chorus]
Calling all mentors, ministers and atheists
Calling all Jedi, feminists and true romantics
Calling all royals, Elvis, Jesus, Malcolm X
Calling all shamans, lionhearts and scientists
Calling all champions, academics, classicists
Calling all sisters, beatifics, beat poets
Calling all saviors, superheroes, paramedics
Calling all martyrs, miracles and anesthetics
Calling, calling
Calling, calling
