Crossed Line

CROSSED LINE ON THE GRAPEVINE

I got a crossed line on the mobile

I was told by a little bird

I overheard a conversation

And this is what I overheard

We let the river run hot, doo doo

And then we let it cool down, doo doo

Invited everybody in, doo doo

And then we let them swim around, doo doo

So we asked them all to laugh, ha ha ha

But all they seemed to do was cry, boo hoo

Suddenly its getting harder

And the sun no longer shines

We heard the tape on relaxation

On how to be sereen and calm

With censorship for your protection

So that it's safe and sound from harm

We watched a film on high society, doo doo

On what was crass and cool and rich, doo doo

On different people's changing opinions, who are you?

About why their life was such a bitch, doo doo

So we asked them all to think, o.k. Yah

Or what they do that for? Can't do that

Then they'd ask us all to leave, depeche toi

And they showed us to the door

We read the book on good behaviour

On how to be and how to act

From your first cry till your last breath

Expect to follow if exact

I got a crossed line on the mobile, doo doo

I was told by a little bird, doo doo

I overheard that conversation, doo doo

And that was what I overheard, doo doo
