ALL NIGHT OPERATOR
Bryan Ferry


Canīt you hear me talkinī to you
Iīm callinī you one more time
All night operator
Dial me a better line
Canīt you hear me talkinī to you
Do telephones make you cry?
I try to write letters
Only my pen runs dry
Though my words sound so confused
The feeling is running strong
Stick tight operator
Help me to pass it on
Final connection
A bridge before the fall
Receiver unrestinī
I count on your call
Am I just a number to you
A handful of empty sighs
All night operator
Reader between the lies
With half the world dreaminī
I see through your eyes
A switchboard breathinī
A diary of crossed lines
Canīt you hear me talkinī to you
Iīm callinī you one more time
All night operator
Dial me better line
If you feel me driftinī away
Slippinī into my song
All night operator
All of a sudden - gone
