Telephone calls
  Apartment A is at it again
  Paper thin walls
  she's been sleeping around with other men
  and other women
  but right about now her head is swimming
  he's breakin' up the furniture
  screamin' and a yellin'
  about to beat the hell outta her
  
  CHORUS 1:
  Television ringin' in my ear
  I've been thinkin'
  Haven't had a break in 20 years
  I've been drinkin'
  
  Telephone calls
  insanity is just another ring away
  I get the paper
  take a look at it every single day
  Another episode
  another life flushed down the camode(spelling?)
  We're all carrying such a heavy load
  I get no slack
  it's breakin' my back
  
  CHORUS 2:
  Television ringin' in my ear, I've been drinkin'
  Haven't had a break in 20 years
  I've been thinkin' get me out of here..
  'til the coast is clear
  
  Television ringin'in my ear, I've been thinkin'
  Haven't had a break in 20 years
  I keep drinkin' Television ringin' in my ear,
  I keep drinkin' liquor, wine, and beer
  I've been thinkin'
  get me out of here
  I've been thinkin'..
