Lyrics You say live is treating you unfairly If you only knew how much more you possess than me I shouldn’t try to burden you or use you to complain But this is the only thing that saves me from insane Shit, if you only knew how much I am in love with you But that is an untold story, I won’t get to that yet Yes, I’m just trying to get through On the telephone of “I love you” Somewhere in an ancient cave a magic, tiny door lit A witch has cast her on me, yet I cannot afford it Shit, if you only knew how much I have gone through for you But that is an untold story, I can’t get to that yet Just trying to get a line On the telephone of “make you mine” Once is hard, but twice ain’t nice I might understand it once but twice is two too many times The stronger in my ways, the shorter to my happy days Just trying to make a call On the telephone of “I won’t fall” Composition © 1989 Ric Albano Publication © 2011 Cygnus Wave Music	Song Info Produced & Engineered by Ric Albano Composed on October 11, 1989 Recorded October 1989 at Rathole Studios, Hazleton, PA Mixed in 2003 & Mastered in 2011 at Cygnus Wave Studios Performers Ric Albano Electric Guitars, Bass Guitar, Drums, Vocals Listener Guide Grade Analysis: A very catchy bass riff, which would be reused 20 years later on a different project, backs this song. The recording is sharp with good sounding drums and wild guitar effects, making it one of the best of the era.
