Lyrics:

Operator, I love you
Operator, I would never leave you
Operator, I'd like to see your face pressed up against the glass

1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby

1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby
(I need to hear the way your tongue tastes in my ear)
1-900-USA-NAILS, oh baby

The county sheriff said
That my baby's dead
They found him in some trash can, blue
All clenched and chewed

But don't judge me, I'm not his real mother
I couldn't even recognise his face
(His skin like a subway running over spinal tracks)

Operator, can I confide you?
They haven't got an ounce of proof
Those pigs locked me up here to see what color
I'd rot into, I'd rot into
I'd rot into, I'd rot into
I'd rot into, I'd rot into
I'd rot into

When I walk I walk alone, operator come on
When I watch you through the phone, operator come on
And de-pupil these lonely eyes
The love scenes grafted to the sky are making me cry
1-900-USA-NAILS (oh baby) I get one phone call a day from Molson County jail...

It wasn't me it was my false tiger limbs..
It wasn't me it was the garbage gryphon!)


Operator: 'Put the receiver to your chest and let me know who loves you best.'

Operator: 1-900-USA-NAILS. 98 cents per minute cash or credit, check or debit...
(noticeable pause)

Prisoner: Operator-rator won't you tell me again!
Operator-rator yeah you're my only friend!

Operator: 'Do you remember that night in the back of daddy's car...
Strumming the chords of your pubic guitar...
The way you tasted like a movie star...
The way the windshield reflected the sunrise
The way the light tattooed your thighs...
You're the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world...
.. your time is up, till next time! We'll send you a bill.'

Prisoner: Listen....can you hear the buildings crumbling in slow motion?
Blow me up like a baloon we'll float over the ocean!
Listen...can you hear them taking me away, don't tell the fucking guards what i've said
Can you see the angels stringing wires through my face?...

Operator: Meet me next week, same time, same place
