Fountains Of Wayne - Hung Up on You Lyrics

Send "Hung Up on You" ringtones to your cell

While I down Kentucky bourbon 
I am waiting for a call
And the moon and stars tonight 
Are playing shadows on the wall
With the moon the way it is, dear 
Would you answer out of spite?
Or are you feeling lonely tonight?

Cuz I remember last time 
We were out under the stars 
Driving crooked down the highway 
Drinking beer in roadside bars
And now and then I wonder 
Why this painful memory 
Can never find its way to you from me

And I can't dial the phone just now 
Even though I know your number
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
Like you did today
You'll say goodbye the same old way
Ever since you hung up on me 
I'm hung up on you

Well the house I'm ringing up from 
Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception I'm getting
Might as well be Timbuktu
And behind the door of your home 
Is a strange and foreign land
Where you speak a language I don't understand

Now I'm goin down to Jimmy's bar 
Like a thousand other times
With an appetite for poison 
And a suitcase full of dimes
And I'll wait there by the payphone 
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung up teardrops in our eyes

And I can't dial the phone just now 
Even though I know your number
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
Like you did today
You'll say goodbye the same old way
Ever since you hung up on me 
I'm hung up on you

Ever since you hung up on me
I'm hung up on you
