[ Featuring the Uploads ]
Nerves a-tingle
The white plastic stares at the single
Drawing a line
It dares me to cross it this time
Nothing will happen
If I don't call her
I'm just paralyzed with fear
She could say "yes"
She could say "no"
Or she could say "I don't remember you, dear"
It's the never-ending battle
Between man and machine
As telephones become advanced
It's harder to hide what you mean
Confidence erodes
On the phone
Her expression
Could be too crude to mention
While she acts meek
She could be with a guy as we speak
But I'll pick it up
There go my fingers dialing
An autonomic response
She could say "yes"
She could say "no"
Or she could be enigmatic and beguiling
It's the never-ending battle
Between man and machine
As telephones become advanced
It's harder to hide what you mean
Confidence erodes
On the phone
It rang, she answered
Her voice sounded quite apprehensive
Set a date
So much to do, I can hardly wait
What would I have done
If I'd gotten her machine?
And thank heavens I didn't
She couldn't say "yes"
She couldn't say "no"
She could replay the message for her friends to screen
It's the never-ending battle
Between man and machine
As telephones become advanced
It's harder to hide what you mean
Confidence erodes
On the phone
