With your smile you're making plans You've got the world right in the palm of your hands. Everything you touch is gold but your future life is bought and sold. It seems to me that you've got it made But you never show that you're afraid. Now the voices in your head they make you scream And drive you mad. You're on a hot line to heaven Now you're all alone Riding on a hot line Riding on a hot line to heaven Standing all on your own. Staring eyes as cold as stone I want to be at the sands alone. Reaching out to cry for help Once a man but now you're just a shell. You can make a deal You make the break But you're heading for an early grave. You've got to find it Got to try Something special to get you high. You're on a hot line to heaven Now you're all alone You're on a hot line to heaven Now you're all alone It seems to me that you've got it made But you're heading for an early break. But now some voices in your head They make you scream and drive you mad. You're on a hot line to heaven Now you're all alone You're on a hot line to heaven Now you're all alone You're on a hot line to heaven Now you're all alone
