Telephone Mama

Lyrics

[Intro: Gazebo & Laurie Sherman] Hello? Hello, Bolivian dancer Fandango This is Madame Bovary Oh Symbiosis with Voltaire Uh, when? Telephone mama [Verse 1] I lived my life on a razor blade Never found escape in my empty shade Till came one day when the C.I.A Said, "We need you bad down in Leningrad" [Pre-Chorus] I took my life of a legal alien A Bolivian dancer That's what I was And I knew I found my aim [Chorus] Just telephone mama, huh Just living on a poison pill Telephone mama, huh A robot dressed to kill Telephone mama, huh That's all I kept in mind Just telephone mama, huh The rest is left behind (Telephone, telephone, telephone mama) [Verse 2] I met Fräulein in a French café Just a cigarette and "les jeux sont faits" Till came one night when she was in sight Through the bathroom door, saw her seek for more [Pre-Chorus] I took my colt and I pointed at her eyes Sentimental cancer That's what it was And I knew I lost my prize [Chorus] Just telephone mama, huh Just living on a poison pill Telephone mama, huh A robot dressed to kill Telephone mama, huh That's all I kept in mind Just telephone mama, huh The rest is left behind (Telephone, telephone) (Telephone, telephone) Just telephone mama, huh Just living on a poison pill Telephone mama, huh A robot dressed to kill (Telephone, telephone, telephone mama) (Telephone, telephone mama) [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] She looked at me, God, she was so sweet She knelt to my feet, said she had to cheat 'Cause she lived her life on the sharpest knife And the KGB never let her breathe [Pre-Chorus] I took her hand, we decided to go far The naivest dancer That's what I was And two men approached the car [Chorus] Just telephone mama, huh Just living on a poison pill Telephone mama, huh A robot dressed to kill Telephone mama, huh That's all I kept in mind Just telephone mama, huh The rest is left behind
