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
Those are killer lyrics

I read this, and the first thing I thought of was "Deus ex machina"...
God out of a machine...
I was waiting for from that phone to come a poetic device that pushes the narrative, however artificially.
Also, in the lesser sence... deus ex machina... god out of a machine... that from your phone would come god itself. A power that makes you shiver and gives you what you've longed for.

as usual, great work.

I love it, Andrew!
The people that are saying that the lyrics are lacking and that the song is about a cell phone, obviously didn't listen to the lyrics. It's a beautiful, emotional, and clearly very deep song. It's what we've all been waiting for, not just a new song, but the first song about what you went through when you got sick. I can't wait to hear more!!
