Calling out to carol
She could really twist the screws
Whatcha doin monday
And are you back on the booze?
Now, Ive been dooin some thinkin
About colorado springs
A dirty denim jacket
And a seven-dollar ring

Well, Ive been keepin busy
Ive got lots of pots boiling on the stove
Whos that in the background
Im sorry that I askedcci guess I should have known

Chorus:
Callin out to carol on the telephone call
Message on a wire comin through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know

Whend you change your number? hey, carol!
Its different than you had
Have you got protection?
I know some police are bad
But thats not why I called you up, now
You know I quit that scene
I told ya bout your pictures
I guess Ill buy that magazine

And I still remember
All those days we spent alone
You went one way while I went the other
Sometimes, I guess, thats the way things go

Chorus:
Callin out to carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin through a wall
Talk about old times but not too long ago
Carol was the girl that everybody got to know
Callin out to carol gets a busy tone
Sees a lot of people but she lives alone
Pick up the recievercclove will come and go
But carol was the girl that everybody got to know

When they called me in the morning
And told me that shed gone
I didnt want to hear it
So I just hung up the phone

Chorus:
Callin outcccallin out to carol
Callin outcccallin out to carol
Callin outcccallin out to carol
Callin out to carol
Callin out to carol on a telephone call
Message on a wire comin through a wall
Is this line in serviceccoperator says no
But carol was a girl that everybody got to know
