Lyrics Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark – 10 To 1

10 to 1, you’re on the phone, how am I supposed to say?
On and on, you carry on, all I want is to be alone

And my heart’s just a house around the heaven
My room, that’s the room where I sleep in

Quiet at 4:00, there’s a knock on the door
Please, God, let there not be earth
I told her once a million times, I just want to be alone

My heart’s just a house around the heaven
My room, that’s the room where I sleep in
My bed, girl, I’m lying awake, just thinking of you, what to do today

The morning after, the night before, I haven’t slept for worrying
A perfume letter comes through the door, I can’t bear to open up
I know I promise to come to you, now I have these things to move
On and on it seems to me, you don’t understand this amity
Shall I make it obvious to really wanting to make it hurt?

10 to 1, you’re on the phone, once again you wake me up
Don’t you sleep? Can’t you see? I just want to be alone

And my heart’s just a house around it
But I’m lying awake just thinking about you
