lyrics

Somewhere in Alaska, in the snow
Somewhere in Alaska, there's a telephone
Hanging by the wire, it's making feeble noises
Hisses and clicks

There's a booth withstanding the wind
Not a soul for miles
I'm on the other end
I'm on the other end
I'm on the other end

Operator, patch me through
There's someone I need to talk to
Operator, patch me through
There's someone I need to talk to
There's someone I need to talk to
There's someone I need to talk to

Broad facades of towers don't know
But they don't care either
They'll leave you alone
Leaving me to wonder about
How much space I take up
Darting through the crowds

Operator, patch me through
There's someone I need to talk to
Operator, patch me through

Sometimes we can't breathe
'Cause the air gets caught between
Longer names, higher numbers, longer names
With our arms, we turn the cogs
Making clouds, floating north
I want to take them down

Operator, patch me through
There's someone I need to talk to
There's someone I need to talk to
There's someone I need to talk to
