Lyrics for The Red Telephone

Sitting on a hillside Watching all the people die I'll feel much better on the other side I'll thumb a ride 2/3: I believe in magic Why, because it is so quick I don't need power when I'm hypnotized Look in my eyes What are you seeing (I see...) How do you feel? (...you) I feel real phony when my name is Phil Or was that Bill? Life goes on here Day after day I don't know if I am living or if I'm Supposed to be Sometimes my life is so eerie And if you think I'm happy Paint me (white)(yellow) I've been here once I've been here twice I don't know if the third's the fourth or if the - The fifth's to fix Sometimes I deal with numbers And if you wanna count me Count me out I don't need the time of day Anytime with me's OK I just don't want you using up my time 'Cause that's not right Ahh... They're locking them up today They're throwing away the key I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me? We're all normal and we want our freedom Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom (Spoken:) Alla God's chilluns gotta have dere freedom
