Payphone Saga Lyrics

A man a payphone and twenty years of frustration

Trying to order Pizza down the block

Feeling tight with no imagination

Lost a dollar bill went into shock

A man a payphone and twenty years of frustration

Trying to impress a comely lass

He missed the train he's stranded at the station

Drinking zinfandel and acting like the perfect ass

Two men an ashtray and twenty years of frustration

Trying to escape the perfect life

A gift of holy reminiscent conversation

Every Budweiser and Busch acts like a knife

Two men an ashtray and twenty years of frustration

Trying to justify the past

They missed the train they're stranded at the station

Drinking beer and fading awfully fast

Myself an ink pen and twenty years of frustration

Trying hard to write another poem

Jousting with the muse of inspiration

Dripping slipping sipping coming home

Myself an ink pen and twenty years of frustration

Trying to envision my next song

I caught the train and watched the aging station

Getting smaller as the engine rolled along
