[Intro: Sound of a telephone ringing with echo] [Drum Fill: Simmons fast toms] [Catchy synth riff starts] (Verse 1) The clock is ticking on the nightstand by my bed I’m remembering every word that you have said The room is empty and the shadows start to grow I’m waiting for the light and for the golden glow (Verse 2) I’m staring at the numbers on the plastic wall I’m waiting for your lonely, long and distant call A million secrets in the middle of the dark I’m looking for a fire, I’m looking for a spark [Pre-Chorus: Rising synth tension] [Drum Fill] [Chorus] Golden telephone (Higher: Calling you!) I am sitting all alone (Higher: Sitting all alone!) Tell me that you love me, tell me that you’re mine Across the miles of the heavy copper line Oh-oh-oh, baby, call me now! (Verse 3) The rain is beating on the window of my heart I knew that we were never meant to be apart Your voice is like a melody from far away I’m waiting for the coming of the morning day (Verse 4) The satellites are flying in the velvet black I’m sending all my love and I am looking back A conversation in the middle of the deep I have a promise that I really have to keep (Verse 5) Don't leave me hanging on this wire of despair I feel the rhythm of your breathing in the air The city’s burning with a thousand neon lights I’m lost inside the magic of the lonely nights (Verse 6) I’ll build a tower to the heavens and the stars To heal the bleeding of my lonely, broken scars The operator says the time is running out I’m screaming to the world and I am gonna shout [Bridge: Synth Solo with telephone beeps] [Simmons drums build-up] (Verse 7) I’d give my soul to have you sitting by my side There is no place for us to run and no place to hide The electric pulse is moving through my tired hand A message from a far and lonely, distant land (Verse 8) I’ll take you higher than the moon and than the sun I’m chasing for the shadows, nowhere left to run The turbo’s whistling a melody of gold The greatest story that was never, never told (Verse 9) The finish line is just a whisper in the wind Forgive me for the way that I have always sinned The battery is low and now the light is red I’m dreaming of the words that you have never said (Verse 10) So pick up the receiver, baby, one more time I’m paying for the mountain that I had to climb Two hearts together on a one-way silent track We’re going forward and we’re not looking back [Final Chorus] Golden telephone (Higher: Calling you!) I am sitting all alone (Higher: Sitting all alone!) Tell me that you love me, tell me that you’re mine Across the miles of the heavy copper line [Outro: Telephone busy signal sound with echo] [Final Synth Chord] [Fade out]
