片手だけの恋は
受話器の声 重くなる前に
解決するだろう
そう パーティ疲れの部屋で
誰かから テレフォンコール
待っている時だけ
僕らは安心なのさ
噂話笑い なんとなく君を愛そう
君はHazy TV Crazy
上辺だけを食べる
友達の恋と悩みを...
時々ある ノイローゼならば
カウンセラーまでが 家族のようで
神父も代わりに 祈りを捧げるよ
そう カセットで 本を聴いて
月極のニュースのダイジェストを
得るだけで僕
らはそれでも安心なのさ
僕はLazy Telephone Crazy
作りたてのJoke
さりげなく君に試そう
君はHazy TV Crazy

だってこの街では
庭のついた部屋で

The lyrics to A.R. Rahman's song "Telephone" describe the feeling of comfort and security that can be found in the simple pleasures of modern technology. The singer waits patiently for the phone to ring, knowing that the voice on the other end will bring a sense of relief from the stress of everyday life. The chorus playfully describes the singer as "Lazy Telephone Crazy," indicating a kind of addiction or dependency on the phone as a source of comfort.
The song contrasts this reliance on modern technology with a sense of detachment from the deeper emotions of human connection. The singer and their partner are described as "Hazy TV Crazy," consuming only surface-level entertainment and avoiding the challenges of real intimacy. Their friends' problems and romantic dramas are dismissed as insignificant distractions from the simple pleasures of daily life.
Overall, the song expresses a longing for a sense of belonging and intimacy in a world where modern technology often seems to serve as a barrier to genuine human connection.
