When Sly Calls (don't Touch That Phone) Lyrics - The Michael Franks Anthology: The Art Of Love - Michael Franks

When Sly calls 

The profit speaks 

When Sly calls 

The secret leaks 

The sky falls 

The dice are tossed 

The war is won 

The battle's lost 

When Sly calls 

It's thirteen takes 

When Sly calls 

The summer breaks 

The sky falls 

The rain begins 

And on the box some Leon spins 

To insulate me from the icy aftershock I feel each time 

That Sly calls 

(Don't touch the phone) 

I am not here 

I'm making my escape 

The me you hear 

Is magnetized on tape 

I'm flying south 

For snorkeling and sleep 

(à Côte d'Azur) 

Just leave your message when you hear the 

(Don't you dare touch that phone) 

When you hear the 

(Don't you dare touch that phone) 

When you hear the 

(Don't you dare touch that phone) 

When you hear the beep 

When Sly calls 

It's tit for tat 

When Sly calls 

It's rat eat rat 

The sky falls 

The signal fades 

I lock the door and shut the shades 

And contemplate the crystal blue familiar funk I'm plunged into 

When Sly calls
