Jimmy Buffett Everybody`s On The Phone Lyrics

Everybody`s On The Phone Lyrics

Message in a bottle

Rhythm of a drum

Smoke signals and telegraphs

Make the airwaves hum



But that's all ancient history

Like bongs and Lincoln Logs

Now we livin' like the Jet sons

In a wacky wireless fog



Talkin', squawkin', hawkin'

Who knows if anybody's gettin' through



Toasters talk to crack berries

Boston to Bombay

Teenage schemes and mobile dreams

As minutes tick away



We act like crazy people

Talking to ourselves

Crashing cars in conversation

Still that shit flies off the shelf



The information superhighways

Crawled up like a L.A. traffic jam



Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites



Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone



Do you remember dialing up?

Yes, I remember well

Now I just can't go anywhere

Without my sacred cell



I think that I might die

If I miss anything at all

Text me, send me an e-mail

Ring me up, give me a call



I'm ADD on AOL and tryin' to read

The writing on the wall



Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites



Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone



Now I'm a real jungle jump up, I'm a megahertz man

I swing from tree to tree on the very latest plan

On the download and the dropouts

On every major city across the land



I got my Marley on my ring tone

Get up, stand up, reach out

Touch somebody band



Everybody's on the phone

So connected and all alone

From the pizza boy to the socialite

We all salute the satellites



Won't you text me with your master plan?

You're loud and clear but I don't understand

And I'm a digital explorer in analog roam

And everybody's on the phone



And I'm a digital explorer in an analog roam

And everybody's on the phone
