Telephone calls
Apartment A is at it again
Paper thin walls
she's been sleeping around with other men
and other women
but right about now her head is swimming
he's breakin' up the furniture
screamin' and a yellin'
about to beat the hell outta her

CHORUS 1
Television ringin' in my ear
I've been thinkin'
Haven't had a break in 20 years
I've been drinkin'

Telephone calls
insanity is just another ring away
I get the paper
take a look at it every single day
Another episode
another life flushed down the camode(spelling?)
We're all carrying such a heavy load
I get no slack
it's breakin' my back

CHORUS 2
Television ringin' in my ear, I've been drinkin'
Haven't had a break in 20 years
I've been thinkin' get me out of here..
'til the coast is clear

Television ringin'in my ear, I've been thinkin'
Haven't had a break in 20 years
I keep drinkin' Television ringin' in my ear,
I keep drinkin' liquor, wine, and beer
I've been thinkin'
get me out of here
I've been thinkin'..
