Language City is a bad old place 
We all know 
Where eyeballs float in space 
We all know 

We were tired, we can't sleep 
It's crowded here, none of us leave 
Language City don't mean a thing to me 

Audiences, the same program is always on 
I'd infer, it's best to avoid the law 
When your wife wakes up and sees 
Shut the blinds and block out the street 
Language City don't mean a thing to me 

All this working 
Just to tear it down 
All this working 
Just to tear it down 

Language City is a bad, old place 
We all know 
Eyeballs float in space 
We all know 

We're tired, we can't sleep 
It's crowded in the street 
Language City don't mean a thing to me 

I been here so long my heart is a parking lot 
Hollow feet rooted to the spot 
But the fields are beyond belief 
From tower out to where I can see 
Language City don't mean a thing to me 

All this working 
Just to tear it down 
All this working 
Just to tear it down 

On the telephone 
On the telephone 
On the telephone 
Someone's counting the hours 
In a paper room 
In a paper room 
In a paper room 
Somebody's counting the hours 

Know I know it's true 
From above this room 
Somebody's counting the hours 
The hours 
The hours 
The houuuuurs 

Oh the long bitter road 
Let us down 
Oh the ringing telephone 
There's no one around 

We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 

We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 
We are not at home 

Hang on the telephone 
Hang on the telephone 
Hang on the telephone 
Hang on the telephone
