Call Box Lyrics

I press the buttons now
Voice keeps poppin' on the call box out
Mop-man, do you receive?
Ten-four, I gotta pull out
I got an eta, five-thirty on the dot
A little bit later, it'll thicken the plot

Chorus:
They always tell me what's not is not
I just gotta get that 1-2-3
It's funny how these things always happen to me
I just gotta get that 1-2-3



Now, by the force of circumstance
And by the belt that holds up my pants
I'm held responsible
For this idea that never had a chance
When they call out the guard tonight
He'll cut the alarm and switch off the light


Chorus:
I get a funny feeling that wrong is right
I just gotta get that 1-2-3
It's funny how these things always happen to me
I just gotta get that 1-2-3



1 2 3
A be see
Like you and me
Like 1 2 3
1 2 3
1-2-3
A be see
1-2-3
1 2 3
1-2-3
It's a combination...


I press the buttons nowwww!


I press the buttons now
Voice keeps poppin' on the call box out
Mop-man, do you receive?
Ten-four, I gotta pull out
I got an eta, five-thirty on the dot
A little bit later, it'll thicken the plot


Chorus:
They always tell me what's not is not
I just gotta get that 1-2-3
It's funny how these things always happen to me
I guess I gotta get that 1-2-3



1 2 3
A be see
Like you and me
Like 1 2 3
Not is not, not is not!
Not is not, not is not...

Cover art for Call Box lyrics by Stan Ridgway

I need to check, but Im wondering if this is the real name of the "police call" song that opens that Drywall album about a crackhead summoning the heat on someone he doesn't like.
