After The Tone lyrics

You call me and it?s late at night
You want to know where I have been
I tell you that I?ll call you later
But you call me back again

The second, third, fourth time you call
I pull the chord out of the wall
And just when I begin to sleep
My damn beeper begins to beep

Sorry dear but I?m not home
So speak your mind after the tone
Heaven knows where I just went
But if I don?t call you back just take the hint

I wake up and you?re at my door
I close the shades, you knock once more
I found the note you left on my car
I go to work and there you are

You called my mother and friends
To ask if they?ve seen me and when
I think that this has gone too far
I turn around and there you are

Sorry dear but I?m not home
So speak your mind after the tone
Heaven knows where I just went
But if I don?t call you back just take the hint

Sorry dear but I?m not home
Please just leave me the hell alone
Sorry dear but I?m not home
Why won?t you leave me the hell alone?

Last night I had the strangest dream
And when I woke ?twas with a scream
I dreamt I died and went to hell
And there you were alive and well

Sorry dear but I?m not home
So speak your mind after the tone
Heaven knows where I just went
But if I don?t call you back just take the hint

Sorry dear but I?m not home
Please just leave me the hell alone
Sorry dear but I?m not home
Why won?t you leave me the hell alone?

But you?re still here after the tone
You?re still here after the tone
You re still here
