A E/G# In Santa Monica, in the wintertime F#m E A The lazy streets so undemanding E/G# F#m E I walk into the crowd In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from The coolest places on the promenade Where people dress just so C#m7 D Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn it's there C#m7 D I sit and wonder what am I doing here? Chorus: A E But on the telephone line I am anyone, D E I am anything I want to be F#m E I can be a supermodel or Norman Mailer D And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you? A E/G# F#m E Ooh In Santa Monica All the people got Modern names like Jake or Mandy And modern bodies too In Santa Monica On the boulevard You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters Or they'll knock you down I never felt so lonely Never felt so out of place I never wanted something more than this Chorus: But on the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be I could be a super model or Norman Mailer And you wouldn't know the difference On the telephone line I am any height I am any age I want to be I could be a caped crusader, or space invader And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you? Or would you? On the telephone line I am anyone I am anything I want to be I could be a super model or Norman Mailer And you wouldn't know the difference On the telephone line I am any height I am any age I want to be I could be a caped crusader, or space invader And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you?
