The Dial-Tone Is My Only Friend lyrics

two blocks from the factory where boys become men and the air is stagnant plumes of smoke rise before the setting sun and the ashes fall like snow drifting down slowly without haste the black tipped leaves, i catch them in my eyes and when i can't see, i'll sleep but the snow will continue to fall labor, now, labor work lights mount the stars and ride them away i can't see the moon, i can't dream anymore and i knock the phone off the hook the nights are gone, only days remain the dial-tone is my only friend a dream, perfect and fragile, like lightning in the sunshine wrestling till dawn for a glimpse until morning carried you away and left me on my back trying to remember the dream please hang up and try again
