Shannon Songtext
von Bend Sinister

Hey operator
I got a question, I′m talkin' to you
Can you make a connection? I′ve made too few
I wanna see her but I got no time
I wanna tell her that I'll tow the line
I wanna hear her voice and know she's finally gonna answer me
We live, we die
We shout, we cry
We question love and wonder why

Hey operator
I got a quarter
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the phone (phone, phone, phone, phone, phone)

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-phone


Today is the first day
I can remember not talking to you
I miss a connection, can you put me through?
I wanna see her but I got no time
I wanna tell her that I′ll tow the line
I wanna hear her voice and know she′s finally gonna answer me

We live, we die
We shout, we cry
We question love and wonder why

Hey operator
I got a quarter
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-pho-phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-phone


Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the phone
Don't wanna be alone anymore

Here I sit and wait on hold, dreaming of a dial tone
Crashed my car, please put me through
There′s nothing that I wouldn't do

Here I sit and wait on hold, dreaming of a dial tone
Crashed my car, please put me through
There′s nothing that I wouldn't do

We live, we die
We shout, we cry
We question love and wonder why

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-pho-phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-phone

Hey operator
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the phone
Don′t wanna be alone
Don't wanna be alone
Gimme Shannon on the phone
Shannon on the pho-pho-pho-phone!
