From This Might Be A Wiki
Newspapers
By: The Mundanes
Year:

Telephone rang, was my best friend, said “Hey John, I’m running” And then he mumbled some crap about the way she looked, he says “Hey John, I’m running”

So he runs into some house and he shouts for the phone and then he tries to call my number From the east to the west there was a major disaster on the corner of somewhere and ??? And I passed slow ‘til morning edition Times

Telephone rang back in late September, said “Hey John I’m leaving” From my ankle to the city, find a girl that’s pretty, said “Hey John, I’m leaving”

I gotta get on down but I got your number, someday I’m gonna give it a call Pack your bags in the north and I’ll come down from the top and we can be on some neutral ground I’ll call back pleased when I can tell you what I found

Newspapers told me what I wanted to know Newspapers told me what I wanted to know

Well he laid down his life for the edge of the knife He said there’s no more reason for living His eyes were made to see what they couldn’t stand

Well the girls all said he was looking for danger, he said “Hey girl, I’m coming” He had a real strong feeling he was made for some ???, he said “Hey girl, I’m coming”

I gotta get on down to the name of creation, got this big stick ready for swinging I got a real fine letter she’s written for her baby on the corner of somewhere and ??? Driving that car, I didn’t see her crossing in time

Newspapers told me what I wanted to know Newspapers told me what I wanted to know

So I hit that girl with the big front end, he said “??? wheels and rubber” Telephone rang, was my very best friend screaming for his mommy “Can you help me, son?”

Newspapers told me what I wanted Newspapers told me what I wanted Newspapers told me what I wanted Newspapers told me what I want...
