[Verse 1]
I always lock the door, 'cause you never know for sure
Who your neighbors really are, I was suspicious
I made my way outside in the California skies
But I couldn't feel the sunny disposition

[Refrain]
Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking

[Verse 2]
They were standing side by side, just like mugs along the shelf
With their glazing-over eyes, they couldn't help it
And no matter how I tried, I just couldn't feel alive
I just stepped right into line, they never felt it

[Refrain]
Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal's always busy, baby

[Verse 3]
But like Jane Doe and her John, all of us just carried on
I was looking for somebody who could shake me
Oh, I always lock the door 'cause you never know for sure
Who your neighbors really are, maybe they'll save me

[Refrain]
Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal's always busy, baby
[Bridge]
I'm still reeling here, maybe some sign will appear
I guess I hope it comes
It's like I'm twiddling my thumbs, sometimes I can't believe
I get so numb
You think I would've figured it out by now
You're not the only one

[Refrain]
Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal's always busy, baby

[Outro]
Oh, won't somebody shake me?
Oh, oh, signal's loud, but it's still busy, baby
