[Verse 1]
Ten thousand miles away from someone
Ten thousand miles away from you
Who's your friend on the end
Of a telephone line?
A telephone line's like a life line
[Verse 2]
You run me cool, you run me hot love
You take me where I wanna be
Ship to shore, air to land
Seems it's always the same
I always end up with a lame brain
[Chorus]
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep, no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep, no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep, no (Don't you go)
Don't go givin' it all away (Givin' it)
Don't go walkin' in your sleep, no (All away)
You're ten thousand miles away
[Post-Chorus]
Livin' it up in the Paradiso
Don't make it right, don't make it wrong
When you know you've got a friend
Who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
[Verse 3]
But a walk on the wire
It don't put out no fire
A telephone line's like a life line
[Chorus]
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep, no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep, no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep, no (Don't you go)
Don't go givin' it all away (Givin' it)
Don't go walkin' in your sleep, no (All away)
You're ten thousand miles away
[Post-Chorus]
When you awake you'll find me sleepin'
The clock don't stop when you're not here
But you know you've got a friend
Who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
[Outro]
A telephone line is a life line
A telephone line is a life line
A telephone line is a life line
A telephone line is a life line
A telephone line is a life line
