Calling Out to Carol Lyrics


Calling out to Carol
She could really twist the screws
What'cha doin' Monday
And are you back on the booze?
Now, I've been doin' some thinkin'
About Colorado Springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven-dollar ringWell, I've been keepin' busy
I've got lots of pots boilin' on the stove
Who's that in the background
I'm sorry that I asked, I guess I should have knownChorus:
Callin' out to Carol on the telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to knowWhen'd you change your number? Hey, Carol!
It's different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad

But that's not why I called you up, now
You know I quit that scene
I told ya 'bout your pictures
I guess I'll buy that magazineAnd I still remember
All those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Well I guess, that's the way things goChorus:
Callin' out to carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know
Callin' out to Carol gets a busy tone
Sees a lot of people but she lives alone
Pick up the receiver love will come and go
But Carol was the girl that everybody got to knowWhen they called me in the morning
And told me that she'd gone
I didn't want to hear it
So I just hung up the phoneChorus:
Callin out, callin' out to Carol
Callin out, callin' out to Carol
Callin out, callin' out to Carol
Callin' out to Carol
Callin' out to Carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin' through a wall
Is this line in service, operator says no
But Carol was a girl that everybody got to know

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Stan Ridgway's tenure with Wall of Voodoo may have launched him to semi-stardom, but his solo musical style is more blues rock, almost Americana-ish, than WoV's big hit "Mexican Radio." Multiple solo albums and collaborations later, Ridgway morphs with each release. Multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Stan Ridgway was the original lead singer for the band Wall of Voodoo, singing on their debut EP and first two albums, including their only hit song, "Mexican Radio".
