Fast asleep
when the phone rings
and it's late at night
startled the lights are still on
but you hang up before he can answer
you've done it time and again
and now your leaving
this town
you feel like droping out
you tell him that you called
left a message there
but surely that's not fair
to tell the son
you hide from
wide awake
and the nation is fast asleep
pick up the phone call your son
but you hang up before he can answer
you've done it time and again
and now your leaving
this town
you feel like droping out
