Night Caller

Here’s another tasty tune for your enjoyment. Night Caller started out as just one song. During the writing of the lyrics, the idea of a sequel came up and for some reason we thought it sounded like a good idea. For reasons lost in the mists of time, that good idea some how became a great idea, and it was decided that we would write 6, no 10, NO 12 SONGS! in the same story arc.

Night Caller was still the first one and most likely the best. I think in the final count, we recorded 3 songs and had ‘rough’ recordings for 3 more. They might eventually make their appearance.

Night Caller Lyrics

[Verse]

Dim the lights
Late at night - at WKRM
When the red light blinks
He flips to line one
To catch her call
Put her onto the air
He can tell from the purr of her voice
She's got curves
That can make lines swerve
By flashing her eyes
Which he hears burn like
White hot flares
You could say he's got some pretty good ears
But you don't need dolby crystal clear to hear
A death certificate scream
No, tonight the airwaves are tingling
With another sordid affair

[Chorus]

There's a killer on the loose
There's a psycho on the move
There's a prowler at the window pane
Peering at you through the sheets of rain

[Verse]

There's a voice on the wire
Disembodied and somebody 
Has a damsel with a request
Then the phone goes dead
He's out the door
But not before 
He puts on a 60 minute superset
You've gotta think about these things 
To be the best DJ
This side of San Andreas
Answering what he says are siren rings
For late night callers -
Callers

[Chorus]

There's a killer on the loose
There's a psycho on the move
There's a prowler at the window pane
Peering at you through the sheets of rain

[Lead Vocal]                        [Backup Vocals]

Night Caller                        Get back
Night Caller                        Get back
Watch your back                     Get back Jack
Night Caller                        Get back Jack
Better get back Jack                Get back
Night Caller                        Get back
Night Caller                        Get back Jack

(Repeat)                            (Repeat and breathe into mic)

  1. I like the part where he puts on a super-set before heading out the door to save her, ’cause he’s just that good a DJ.

    The echo-response on “Caller” in that one verse was a nice touch too.

    If you want to post up the lyrics that’d be great.
