Lyrics:
White telephone, pick up the receiver
Wait for the tone, wait for the tone
It's droning, there's no-one on the line
It's droning, there's no-one on the line

The rotary, finger into the hole
Pull back, let go... pull back, let go
It's ringing, no-one answering
It's ringing, there's no-one answering

All the words go into the wire
Just like a ghost, just like a ghost
It's fleeing like light from a room
Into darkness from an empty room
I'm fleeing like light from a room
Into darkness, calling after you
