In Santa Monica, in the wintertime The lazy streets so undemanding I walk into the crowd In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from The coolest places on the promenade Where people dress just so Beauty so unavoidable Everywhere you turn it's there I sit and wonder what am I doin' here? But on the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be I can be a super model or Norman Mailer And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you? In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names Like Jake or Mandy And modern bodies too In Santa Monica, on the boulevard You'll have to dodge those in line skaters Or they'll knock you down I never felt so lonely Never felt so out of place I never wanted something more than this On the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be I can be a super model or Norman Mailer And you wouldn't know the difference See, on the telephone line, I am any height I am any age I want to be I could be a caped crusader, or space invader And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you? Or would you, ooo ooh? {Thank you for calling instead Thank you for calling instead Thank you for calling instead} On the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be I can be a super model or Norman Mailer And you wouldn't know the difference See on the telephone line, I am any height I am any age I want to be I can be a caped crusader, or space invader And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you?
