Telephone calls
Apartment A is at it again
Paper thin walls
She's been sleeping around with other men
And other women
But right about now her head is swimming
And he's breakin' up the furniture
Screamin' and a yellin'
He's about to beat the hell outta her

Television ringing in ear
I've been thinkin'
Haven't had a break in twenty years
I've been drinkin'

Telephone calls
Insanity is just another ring away
I get the paper
Take a look at it every single day
Another episode
Another life flushed down the commode
We're all carrying such a heavy load
I get no slack and it's breakin' my back

Television ringing in my ear
I've been drinkin'
Haven't had a break in twenty years
I been thinkin' get me out of here
'Til the coast is clear

Television ringing in ear
I've been thinkin'
Haven't had a break in twenty years
I've keep drinkin'

Television ringin' in my ear
I been drinkin' liquor, wine, and beer
I've been thinkin' get me out of here
I've been thinkin'
