Lyrics

When Sly calls, the prophet 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) (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) (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 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 ["Hello, Michael? This is Sly, man Call me back right away, 'cause I got some bad news for ya, bro"] When Sly calls, it's tit for tat When Sly calls, it's rat eat rat The sky falls, the thunder claps I see my house of cards collapse When Sly calls, the muse gets jammed When Sly calls, the best laid plans The sky falls, the signal fades I lock the door, shut the shades,  And contemplate the crystal blue familiar funk I'm plunged into when 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) (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) (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 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 (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (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) (Don't touch that phone, don't touch that phone)
