The sound of mass confusion
Reverberated down the hall
Into the ears of a stoic roommate
Who put her headphones on
But in the s***e between the songs
That's where she paid the most attention
Beneath the crack in the door
The candle flickered and got extinguished
The reassuring hum of the freeway
As she drifted off to sleep
And it was five o'clock in the morning
You had no good reason to leave
Ooh baby
I'll come when you call
I'll come when you call
I'll come when you call
I'll come but that's all
Linda Rondstadt on the stereo
She was singing Warren Zevon
Hold me tighter Carmelita
Make the night not last so long
And if it seems so peaceful now
Why don't you wait until the morning light
And catch the eye of the stoic roommate
As you leave without saying goodbye
And if you're ever left to wonder
Why anything goes right
Thank the god of bad decisions
And the queen of lonely nights
Reverberated down the hall
Into the ears of a stoic roommate
Who put her headphones on
But in the s***e between the songs
That's where she paid the most attention
Beneath the crack in the door
The candle flickered and got extinguished
The reassuring hum of the freeway
As she drifted off to sleep
And it was five o'clock in the morning
You had no good reason to leave
Ooh baby
I'll come when you call
I'll come when you call
I'll come when you call
I'll come but that's all
Linda Rondstadt on the stereo
She was singing Warren Zevon
Hold me tighter Carmelita
Make the night not last so long
And if it seems so peaceful now
Why don't you wait until the morning light
And catch the eye of the stoic roommate
As you leave without saying goodbye
And if you're ever left to wonder
Why anything goes right
Thank the god of bad decisions
And the queen of lonely nights
