Cellular Phone

I have become increasingly
Overwhelmed but not discouraged
And soon I’ll leave the infirmary
Feeling well
But lacking courage
Courage
And now the rockets fly above
Passing over
Cape Canaveral
There’s the woman with the drugs
In the café
By the launch pad
By the launch pad
And she is ‘gonna
Ring me up
On my Cellular Phone
So I know I’m not alone
In a world full of vampires
Come on darling
Talk me down
On that Cellular Phone
Because I can’t get home
I’m a slave to the wires
I’ve done this before
I will do it more
I have become increasingly
Overwhelmed when
I’m in public
I’m not so patient when they stare
There’s a fighter
Somewhere underneath this skin and bones
And do you know what I mean?
What I mean when I say that this girl
Has got a thing for my machine
And she is ‘gonna
Ring me up
On my Cellular Phone
So I know I’m not a lone
In a world full of Vampires
Come on darling
Talk me down
On that cellular phone
Because I can’t get home
I’m a slave to the wires
I’ve done this before
I’ve done this before
But I have given everything and more
Sometimes convinced I have the world to carry
Every day is war
And rockets fly from dusk ‘til dawn
I won’t be shaken
If ever there’s a time
Where I am gone just know I’m waiting
For you to ring
For you to ring...
Me up on my Cellular Phone
So I know I’m not alone
In a world full of vampires
Come on darling
Talk me down
On that Cellular Phone
Because I can’t get home
I’m a slave to the wires
I’ve done this before
I will do it more

wow i love this song...so jack's mannequin...andrew my love i think its time for a vistit to hampton in nh or boston mass and come see me!!! your sroty totally impacted my life before i really founsd out the whole story of your sickness i was in a hard place but seeing how much u fought to stay alive and how you did and write amazing music totally keeps me going and i love jack's mannequin ever so much and was and still am a total somthing corprate freak..so yeah i really wanna see u live so please consider it and try to let me know!!!

[Chantel]

wow. im completely in love with this. =] i honestly can say that i need another album from jm and it needs to be soon. no pressure there... but still, i love jacks mannequin and soco. i just got my first tatoo, and it reads.."this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation." and i love it. i think that most of your songs are deep and i feel like i can relate to some of it. my life has been screwed up pretty royally so far, and i have really been through some hard times. i was in the hospital for about 3 months last year, and after that i was in and out of the doctors almost every day. i have a liver difficiency, and this has affected my life severely. i spent most of my days sleeping, or lying on the couch watching will and grace re runs and feeling sicker each passing moment. i used to love to paint, and i couldn't even do that. my mom went through a divorce that year too, and it destroyed me even more. i didn't know who to talk to, or how to deal with it. i know what depression feels like, and honestly, everything in transit helped me through a lot of it. i dont know if you personally read this (andrew) but i just wanted to thank you for the inspiration to get well on those not so sunny days last year. even now, over a year later, i still feel weak, and i am still on medication frequently. my immune system is very weak, and i get sick all the time. i recently found out that i might not be able to have kids, and that really has me down right now. but listening to miss delaney, and bruised really makes me smile.
thanks for the inspiration. it would be wonderful to hear from you, and that would probably take my mind of things for a while.

[Mike]

You are the most talented artist today, in everything you do.
You mesmerize me.

[Kassie]

Brilliant! It's funny really that you can write a song and want it to mean one thing and someone else listens to it and it means something completely different to them. Just for example, "Bruised". I am not sure your intentions for this song but I will tell you how it pertains to me. My father in law lost his battle with cancer on July 13, 2007 just 1 month and 1 day after he turned 50. When I hear this song it makes me think of him and how he fought to stay alive. He didn't slow down until the end and I told my sister in law about this song and she listened to it and it seemed to give her some sort of closer. It's great how much does that huh? Again congrats on the new song, keep pumping them out Andrew! You are a brilliant man!

[anna]

[Jackie]

[tyler]

god andrew..im jealous of your lyrical perfection...teach me your ways haha

[Dylan]

I liked it a lot at Ramapo

[kellie]

i saw you preform this at RIT, i think last saturday? and anyways i've been looking for a recording of it everywhere. can't find one. which is a bummer but the way things go i guess. hoping it'll be on the new album though. :pp because i am absolutely in love with the song.

back to the preformance at RIT. it was absolutely amazing. really good energy from everyone but especially the whole mannequin crew. seeing you play a tom petty song made my whole week. :]]

later days

[Brittany]

AMAZING!<3
adding to my lists of favorites by you...along with Konstantine and Katie<3
Andrew you are inspiring, and your lyrics are so powerful.

[katie]

love this song.

[Katherine]

Honestly, not to be rude, but Andrew I've loved you and your music for years...and the lyrics to this song, and Suicide Blonde don't match up to your usual glory. Maybe i just have to hear them or something, but I really hope the rest of your album pushes it to that next level lyrically.

[Noah]

Those are some great lyrics.
