Round the corner past the phone box
Take the next left and you don't stop
It's a day like any other today

Have the right change wear a clean shirt
Make a brave face and it won't hurt
Think a good thought make it last you all day

You wanna tell your mother that you love her
Comb your hair and smooth the covers
Leave a light on like there's somebody home

Call the operator just to say
Can you wake me up can you call me later
Keep me talking now don't hang up

And everybody wants to hide
From the teenage suicide
And everybody wants a ride
From the teenage suicide

Around the table in the morning
Chew your food and stop your yawning
Take a deep breath make it last you all day

Check for signs of life in your horoscope
Is the future bright is there any hope there
Are you happy now hanging on

And everybody wants to hide
From the teenage suicide
And everybody wants a ride
From the teenage suicide

Call the operator teenage suicide
Call the operator teenage suicide
Call the operator teenage suicide
Call the operator teenage suicide

And everybody wants to hide
From the teenage suicide
And everybody wants a ride
From the teenage suicide

Call the operator teenage suicide
