[Verse 1]
Did you find yourself a liar?
A new fictional supplier?
A mythology to call your own?
Or a way to spend the hours
In between the lonely towers
That you call your work and call your home?
Have you seen the dimming lights?
They're shining from a starlit night
And calling back the star, you are on your own
Or have you given up on life
And traded for another try
And hung this one like an old, dusty coat?

[Chorus]
Well, I know that you are not alone
Even though you're always on your own
You can always pick up the phone
And just listen to the dial tone
Sitting all alone with the dial tone
Just sitting all alone with the dial tone
(My baby's gone to Heaven)

[Verse 2]
Did you see the exposition
Of the general's position
On the war that would never end?
And did he mention the direction
Of the latest insurrection
Or the dollars that we're gonna spend?
And did he look upon the sun
And smile down on everyone
To let us know that we're gonna win?
And did he shed a single tear
To mark the passing of the year
To the day that we lost our friend?
[Chorus]
Well, I know that you are not alone
Even though you're always on your own
You can always pick up the phone
And just listen to the dial tone
Sitting all alone with the dial tone
Just sitting all alone with the dial tone
My baby's gone to Heaven now

[Bridge]
Well, I say now
I say now

[Verse 3]
Do you feel the satisfaction
To the horrible reaction
Of the face cast upon a mirror?
And as you're looking consequential
Really lacking all potential
So much older than it did last year
But if you wanna find a cure
One that will always work for sure
And is approved by a group of your peers
Start by turning out the lights
And give yourself unto the night
Under the cloven hooves of your fears
[Chorus]
'Cause I know that you are not alone
Even though you're always on your own
You can always pick up the phone
And just listen to the dial tone
Sitting all alone with the dial tone
Just sitting all alone with the dial tone
My baby's gone to Heaven
