They Might Be Giants - Operators are Standing By lyrics

rate me

Operators are standing by

Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee

Bounce their shoes at the end of their feet

And wish they could go home

Operators are standing by

Poking holes in the ceiling tiles

Making jokes about their old boyfriends

Operators are standing by

Talking about their portrayal

On T.V. where an actress sits

With a headset in outer space

That's enough talking, ladies

Operators are standing by

Smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee

Pass round the picture of a Mobius Strip

And wish they could go home

And wish they could go home
