Lyrics:

I can hear the telephone
Let it ring, let it ring
Because I want to be alone
Let it ring

And the television's on
Let it run, let it run
Because the fascination's gone
Let it run

A storm is coming on
I say let it come
Because my one and only's gone
Let it come

The oil wells they burn
Because there's money to be earned
And I can never learn
Let it burn

I can hear the radio
Let it play, let it play
Because I've got no place to go
Let it play

And the singers on TV
Let them sing, let them sing
Because I let you go free
Let them sing

And still I was surprised
When I looked into your eyes
I knew it all was lies
It was lies

The oil wells they burn
Because there's money to be earned
And I can never learn
Let it burn
