Microwave induced
Is tearin’ up the sense of a distance
Electromagnetic’s sending out
Nasty little packets of sound
Tonight the sky is alive
Like nobody's business
And word sure gets around...
The air is getting busy
Tranceivin’ at the speed of the grapevine
A party goin’ on, at point blame
And all the girls'll be there
Those tender tones connect
With all of the grace of a landmine
Deadly and debonair
And on the telephone they swap stories
Today’s account of how the boy done wrong
They share the misery in all its glory
And in their company they become one
Check out the widows in training
They become one
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
A telephonic cry
To telescopic edifications
12 women and true
Will hang the f*cker up by the balls
The switchboards are alight
Singing the death of relations
In just the space of a call
And on the telephone trading secrets
The conversation is clandestine
Your private life? well it just went public
Meting out justice on a telephone line
The black widows in training prey online
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
And on the telephone they swap stories
Today's account of how the boy done wrong
They share the misery in all its glory
And in their company they become one
Check out the widows in training
They become one
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
