Rivers Cuomo
Ivory Telephone
[Chorus]
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home
Don't try to break me
Never try to shake me
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home
Don't try to break me
Never try to shake me

[Verse]
Can I ask a question?
Can I pick your brain?
Why you tryna flush me down the drain?

[Chorus]
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home
Don't try to break me
Never try to shake me
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home
Don't try to break me
Never try to shake me

[Verse]
I build you up a temple
And put a knife in the sun
I only wanna be your chosen one
Yeah
I pour some holy water
I count up all the beans
Now tie me down and never let me leave

[Chorus]
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home
Don't try to break me
Never try to shake me

[Outro]
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home, home
Home, home, home, home, home
I call you up on the ivory telephone
They say you're not, but I know that you're at home
(Don't try to break me)
Home (Don't try to break me)
Try to break me (Don't try to break me)
Try to shake me (Don't try to break me)
Try to break me
