Prehistoric Phone

from Via Negativa by Z-Sides

/

about

One of the first songs the band wrote, based on a guitar figure by Don. Steve added some touches and it had already received its title by the time Lane wrote the words. Always a live favorite.

lyrics

PREHISTORIC PHONE

Does anybody hear this? Is the signal getting through?
The bearer of a message nobody’s listening to
Has it been encrypted? Did they crack the code?
Give birth to an answer before you grow too old

3… 2… 1… It’s a long way to heaven

Does anybody see this? The view is so to die
A forest in flames, an atomic sky
And if you find my fingerprints buried underground
Just think of me in my youth, a man about town

3… 2… 1… It’s a long way to heaven
You gotta chance it all - It’s prehistoric!

Seemed like a bright idea a long time ago
Now like a bad connection, it never took hold

Does anybody hear this? Is the signal getting through?
The bearer of a message nobody’s talking to
Does anybody know you? Does anybody care?
Is anybody out there? Is anybody in here?

3… 2… 1… It’s a long way to heaven
You gotta not give up – It’s prehistoric!

Seemed like a bright idea a long long time ago
Now like a bad connection, it never took hold.
Can we get a new one? Listen for the call…
Why don’t you dial up an answer before the signal drops?
