Lyrics

[00:19.06] Spent last winter playing in the sand
[00:22.87] With the prisoners of the motherland
[00:27.06] Damn hotel is feeling like a cell
[00:35.50] And even paradise can be so cruel
[00:39.87] Sitting by the swimming pool
[00:44.19] Trying to keep my head together
[00:48.47] In that hot Australia weather
[00:53.28] Three days to kill and my per diem's getting low
[01:01.10] Cause I spent all my money calling long distance
[01:10.04] Calling long distance, such a long way from home
[01:19.10] Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through?
[01:26.28] Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance,
[01:30.78] Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance
[01:35.66] Now the Road Hog's face is turning red
[01:39.66] Larry's still asleep in bed
[01:43.53] Romeo he can't get no head at all
[01:52.22] And the Doctor looks on so annoyed
[01:56.66] You disappoint me, Mr. Boyd
[02:00.54] And the Electric Dwarf wishes he was six foot tall
[02:08.47] Now Romeo's patience is wearing thin
[02:13.10] C'mon baby, let me in
[02:17.35] It's five a.m. and I've been creeping 'round the hall
[02:25.91] Got no resistance calling long distance
[02:30.48] You sound so close but your such a long way from home
[02:43.48] Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through?
[02:51.60] Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance,
[02:55.29] Long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance
[03:07.38]
[03:18.35] Still no points for my merrymen,
[03:20.78] Except Ricard, he just scored ten
[03:24.78] Now Road Hog's getting drunk again
[03:28.97] And I only get to hold my pen
[03:33.60] Instead of what I love to hold the most.
[03:41.28] I feel so lonesome I could cry
[03:45.66] Count the hours as they roll by
[03:50.16] It's day time now
[03:53.41] I think I'll make a call
[04:00.16] Hello long distance, calling long distance
[04:03.22] You sound so close but you're such a long way from home
[04:15.91] You're such a long way from home
