Well I've been bouncing off the walls   Cause that was all I had   To work with at the time   I had nothing to say   I got a message from a friend   He keeps his number in the phone book   But I don't use it   I got nothing to say      We never ever spoke   But I listen what he tells me   Ooh I wonder what he'd tell me   I know I've got to think accurately   He doesn't suffer fools   Time's a-wasting   So now I've got no mouth   But I'm still screaming      And Harlan   Harlan says we're not alone   But I'm still waiting   With all these rags   By my telephone       There's a mad old boy   In a Batman baseball cap   Down at the intersection   Waiting till the cavalry arrives   Like every day had its own meaning   Everyone would have its colour   So did numbers   What the hell, it's only our lives      And Harlan   Harlan says we're not alone   But I'm still waiting   With all these rags   By my telephone       Jefty is the boy next door   And Jefty is five   The same as he was in 1954   A boy and his dog   Alone against tomorrow   Alone against tomorrow   People could lose their grip   And deep below the Earth   In caves the size of Africa   Infinitely slowly   The pain is rarified   And tainted to our special needs   Always   Cause I can't live with myself   If living's without you      And Harlan   Harlan says we're not alone   But I'm still waiting   With all these rags   By my telephone       Oh there must be millions like us   Millions   Outside      You know all about it      And I'm standing here   While you know all about it   You know all about it      There's one more thing, girl:   It's so tough knowing where you are      It's so tough knowing where you are   And I just don't seem   To get out that much these days   I want to hold you in my arms
