You're on a hot line
With your smile you're making plans
You've got the world right in the palm of your hands
Everything you touch is gold
But your future life is bought and sold
It seems to me that you've got it made
But you never show that you're afraid
Now the voices in your head
They make you scream and drive you mad
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hot line
Riding on a hot line to heaven
Standing on your own
You're on a hot line
Staring eyes as cold as stone
I want to figure the stance alone
Reaching out to cry for help
Once a man but now you're just a shell
You make a deal, you make the break
But you're heading for an early grave
You've got to find it, got to try
Something special to get you high
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hot line
Riding on a hot line to heaven
Standing on your own
Going up without me baby
Won't let you drive me crazy
Now you're all alone
(On a hot line)
Going up without me baby
Won't let you drive me crazy
Standing on your own
You're on a hot line
It seems to me that you've got it made
But you're heading for an early break
A thousand voices in your head
Make you scream and drive you mad
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hot line
Riding on a hot line to heaven
Standing all on your own
Going up without me baby
Won't let you drive me crazy, oh
(Riding on a hot line)
Going up without me baby
Won't let you drive me crazy, oh
Going up without me baby
Won't let you drive me crazy, oh
Now you're all alone
