lyrics

People talk around me in the hush hushed tone of a dirty joke
As if we had egg on our face but I’m still dripping with yoke
Wish I could say that
I’ll be okay
But I’m so jealous and lonely
Cause of all the other phonies

(chorus)
Operator operator are you lonely tonight
Do you feel you’ve been out optioned and it’s a matter of time
Till everybody knows it all and no one brings you a dime
Operator operator are you still on this line?

People are like
Eww what do I want with you when I’m everywhere I want to be
No more wandering aimlessly wondering ‘can you hear me?’
Wish we could say
That we’ll call you someday
But we’re obsessed with our phonies
Plus we hardly even know thee
