GIMME A CALL

Gimme a call in France,
Australia, Europe

Gimme me a call in Hawaii or Texas

Gimme me a call in where I can sunbathe
I will sit in the beach with salt filling moist air
While water splashes up to my ankles
And wait for my call

Gimme me a call in Alaska
While washing my metal torso
I will watch the northern lights while waiting for a ring

Gimme me a call in part of Asia
Where hail plunks on my chest
Clang

Gimme me a call where I am polishing my chest
from hailstorm damages

Gimme me a call in Spain
On my computer brain
