Trouble wakes me up at daybreak Should I get up or should I play dead How can I keep my heart From crying out so loud Fix me dynamite, I'll blow up the place And send these demons into outerspace How can I heal my heart If I say no to love Operator what's your name Have I ever seen you face Operator make my day Operator are you there I have to wait before the smoke clears I have to bite my nails and swallow my tears And when the alarms go off it's time To pick up the phone and dial Try to stay open when everything is closing in Try to stay unbroken when everything is giving in Isn't it nice to know that we are taken care of
