Black Telephone (lyrics)

[Phrazz]

Ok, I did my best transcribing these lyrics to a new song (debut at Narrows, I think), which has an operational title of Black Telephone.

Black Telephone (title unofficial)
<hr>
(phone rings)
I wanna be clean when the toasting machine
comes a bottle that glasses (?) and cheers.
I want to make peace with the dearly deceased
who have watched me with eyes full of tears.

There may come a day when my horse runs away
and none of my friends can be found -
but my time is my crime and my crime is my own
so answer the black telephone. (phone rings)

Grabbing a cab up in SOHO,
sippin' a couple of beers
and all of the bells from the chinese hotel
are still ringing inside of my ears

I wanted to stay but the song that they played
made my heavy and red-eyes to blue
but I might be on and my life may be off
so soft like a black telephone. (phone rings)

I been to play ??? to donut??? to labor???
was the hardest the band ever saw
you wake up at night theres mysterious lights
coming through every hole in the floo

Thought it hard to take your medicine seriously
when you can't take yourself down the hall
but I might be on and my life may be off
so soft like a black telephone. (rings)

I wanna be clean when the toasting machine
comes a bottle that glasses (?) and cheers.
I want to make peace with the dearly deceased
who have watched me with eyes full of tears.

There may come a day when my horse runs away
and none of my friends can be found -
but my lime is my crime and my crime is my own
so answer the black telephone.... (rings)
but my time is my time and my time is my own
and I feel so live and alone....
