Come and watch a curtain rise
Just in time for us to hide
Do you wanna see my ghost
Picking up the old boy's slack
Only can we go so far
Take a bow and raise a glass
Oh
Hold it right there
Do you want to keep me on the line
Hold it right there
Caught the operator
Come and watch the old paint dry
Wait until the tide comes higher
We'll be playing in an old man's war
Picking flowers off the corner store
Oh
Hold it right there
Do you want to keep me on the line
Hold it right there
Caught the operator
Hold it right there
Do you want to keep me on the line
Hold it right there
Caught the operator
Only this road lasts as long
'Till you find you're on the run
Only this road lasts as long
'Till you find you're the only one
Hold it right there
Do you want to keep me on the line
Hold it right there
Caught the operator
