Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had to see it with my very eyes
At the Museum of the City of New York
It had the offhand grace, you will find
In the last ones left alive
Well they took it from Times Square in May
Little fanfare or paid respect
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
[Chorus]
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
[Instrumental]
I had to see it with my very eyes
For advice from the just left behind
Reverse the charges
I tried, but it had no lightning inside
Did you get a good look at their face?
'Cause often thieves have not gone very far
And they're not strangers, they rarely are
And they're not strangers...
They rarely are
[Chorus]
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
Nothing major, man
It's just the last payphone
[Instrumental]
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
[Instrumental]
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
[Instrumental]
Yeah, first comes love, then comes pity
Then it's terminal velocity
