Telephone Blues

Jandek


The telephone's getting hazy 
The molecules are spreading apart 
It looks more white than black 
It's a ghost of a telephone 
Not ringing now 
I've got a lot of ghosts in the telephone 
It knows a lot of secret things 
Telephone knows my name 
It called me and I answered 
To stop the bell 
I maybe don't need the telephone 
It's making a ghost out of me 
So disintegrate you molecules 
Merge with all the space around 
I got the telephone blues 
When I get up in the morning 
I sure don't want to hear that thing 
I lose my sharp edges in the mellow tones 
Telephone blues is haunting me 
I want to go there 
And find the ghost without a phone
