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
