Can't Get A Line Lyrics - Singles - Old 97's

Can't get a line to telephone ya - 

Why ya holding your company? 

I've been moaning, "Oh, lonesome me; 

You made a pigeon of my heart." 

And I'd go anywhere to know ya, 

Take a long way comin' back; 

Be your yellow bedroom cat 

Makin' bread in your heaven. 

And you're the reason I'm losin' 

All my sleep at night. 

Oh,'cause I just can't get what I want. 

I'm spinnin' out - I'm pocket-sized. 

I'm gonna catch that flyer 

I'm gonna see it shine. 

Yeah, you're wakin' up my one desire, 

But I can't get a line. 

Can't get a line to telephone ya, 

And I ponder your hold on me. 

I've been moaning, "Oh, lonesome me; 

You made a pigeon of my heart." 

And I'd go anywhere to know ya, 

Take a long way comin' back; 

Be your yellow bedroom cat, 

Makin' bread in your heaven. 

And you're the reason I'm losin' 

All my sleep at night. 

Oh,'cause I just can't get what I want. 

I'm spinnin' out - I'm pocket-sized. 

I'm gonna catch that flyer 

I'm gonna see it shine. 

Yeah, you're wakin' up my one desire, 

But I can't get a line.
