Come When You Call

Original

The sound of mass confusion

Reverberated down the hall

Into the ears of a Stoic roommate

Who put her headphones on

But in the space between the songs

(That's where she paid the most attention)

Beneath the crack on the door

(The candle flickered and got extinguished)

The reassuring hum with the freeway

As she drifted off to sleep

And it was five o'clock in the morning

You had no good reason to leave

Ooh, baby, I'll come when you call (I'll come when you call)

I'll come when you call (I'll come when you call)

I'll come when you call (I'll come when you call)

I'll come, but that's all (I'll come when you call)

Linda Rondstadt on the stereo

She was singing Warren Zevon

Hold me tighter Carmelita

Make the night not last so long

And if it seems so peaceful now

(Why don't you wait until the morning light?)

Catch the eye of the Stoic roommate

(As you leave without saying goodbye)

If you're ever let to wonder

Why anything goes right

Thank the god of bad decisions

The queen of lonely nights

Ooh, baby, I'll come when you call (I'll come when you call)

I'll come when you call (I'll come when you call)

I'll come when you call (I'll come when you call)

I'll come, but that's all (I'll come when you call)

Is that right?

I'm the one that doesn't want it to rain

One, one-one-one- (you're kidding wild king?)
