The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite by R.E.M.

This here is the place where I will be staying
There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone
Let it (1)________ a long, long, long, long time
If I don't pick up, hang up, let it ring some more
If I don't pick up, pick up...
The sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her

There are scratches all around the coin slot
Like a heartbeat, baby trying to wake up
But this machine can only swallow money
You can't lay a patch by computer design
It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs
Tell her
Tell her she can kiss my ass
Then laugh and say that you were only kidding
That way she'll know (2)________ it's really, really, really
Really me, me
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me (3)________ you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me
Today I need something more
(Substa-sub-sub-stantial)
A can of beans or blackeyed peas
Some Nescafe and ice
A candy bar, a falling star
Or a reading of (4)____________ Seuss
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her

The cat in the hat came back
Wrecked a lot of havoc
On the way, always had a smile
And a reason to pretend
But their world has flat backgrounds
And little need to sleep butto dream
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up
Call me when you try to wake her
