HANG UP THE LINE
(To the tune of "Look at the Time," from the Kansas album Somewhere to Elsewhere)
 

Hang up the line
Seems as though each time I call, can't reach you at all
Busy again
Hearing the same signal every time I redial

Each night this time, you go online
I wanted you to know... I'm waiting

Day after day
I begin to wonder if I knew you before
You're on eBay
Bidding your life's savings, but you're still wanting more

Thought you could see: friendship is free
I wanted you to know... still waiting

On your web site, it's a sad sight
I begin to worry
Color's not right, you look a fright
Is this your life's story?

(waiting, moping, dialing, hoping you're offline)
(I'm sitting, betting, pacing, fretting all this time)

Look at our lives
Cut off from each other as the miles disappear
Loneliness thrives
We're shackled to our monitors; no one sees our tears

One of these days, we'll leave this maze
I hope that you'll turn on... call waiting
