Could you spare a few quarters
I need to make a call
Do you know where the nearest payphone is
I need to get in touch with
A girl I used to know
And that's the only way
I need a payphone
I need a payphone
I need a payphone
Transcendent healing
Strings of a banjo
Gin Kelly and some old books
Late night with Addie
And my million-dollar question
Wrong roads those long days
In them old shoes
I need a payphone
I need a payphone
Give me a way to reach her
A way to reach her
I need a payphone
I need a payphone
She's stuck in the past
Where no one sees her
Whiplash cold blood
Jukebox on the fritz
Coins in a drawer
Words on the four
Forest with a fist
Unused dance cards
Gum beneath the seats
Pills in her palm
Broken doors
And hearts carved in ink
I need a payphone
I need a payphone
She needs someone
To tell her she's not alone
Could you spare a few quarters
I need to make a call
Do you know where the nearest payphone is
I need to get in touch with
A girl I used to know
And that's the only way
