Waiting on the Line

[Verse] I've been waiting on the line for fifty long years Listening to the same old tune, bringing me to tears Oh, operator, won't you come and set me free I'm tired of this hold music, won't you please rescue me [Verse 2] I don't know how it happened, how I got stuck in this place It feels like a prison, with no chance of escape I've been dialing for help, but no one seems to hear I'm trapped in this telephone line, consumed by my fear [Chorus] Waiting on the line, my life ticking away (tickin' away) I'm stuck in this limbo, with no end in sight (oh-oh-oh) Oh, operator, won't you hear my plea? (hear my plea) I've been waiting on the line for eternity (eternity) [Verse] Years on the line, same tune in my ear Takin' calls from folks who disappeared Yo, operator, come rescue me Sick of that hold music, a sad symphony [Verse 2] Dunno how it hit, caught in this groove Like stuck in a prison, no move to approve Dialin' help, no echo in the void Bound to this hotline, my spirit’s destroyed [Chorus] Waiting on the line, my life ticking away (tickin' away) I'm stuck in this limbo, with no end in sight (oh-oh-oh) Oh, operator, won't you hear my plea? (hear my plea) I've been waiting on the line for eternity (eternity)
