Landmines - Soul Asylum

Well, call me on my landline

I ain’t gonna answer

I can’t talk to robots

I can’t take those chances

A landline’s better than a landmine

I guess I’ll take my chances

You’ll find buried bodies

Right on down the road

Right between the landmines

Ready to explode

Landlords and lawyers on the front line

Stompin' on those landmines

So watch where you walk

Tread light

You better watch your step

One step at a time

When you’re walkin' through that field of landmines

Your papa was a preacher

Your mama was a dancer

You never know

They’re pretty old

They might have the answer

Left a slice out last night

Might be right where the ants were

Eggshells and earthquakes

Crackin' underfoot

You never know

When she might blow

The devil’s on the loose

The telephone is ringin'

I don’t need the bad news

So watch where you walk

Tread light

You better watch your step

One step at a time

When you’re walkin' through a field of landmines

Well, a landline’s better than a landmine

This much I know

So call me on my landline

I don’t have a phone

A landline’s better than a landmine

That’s one thing fo' sho

So watch where you walk

Tread light

Watch your step

One step at a time

You’re walkin' though a field of landmines
