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 of 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 radio 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?) And catch the eye of the stoic roommate (As you leave without saying goodbye) And 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)
