"In 1984, the Justice Department of the United States mandated AT&T Corporation to break up the Bell System and split into seven companies, called "Baby Bells". One of the baby bells, Bell Atlantic,[8] came into existence in 1984 consisting of the separate operating companies New Jersey Bell, Bell of Pennsylvania, Diamond State Telephone, and C&P Telephone, with a footprint from New Jersey to Virginia." -Wikipedia

lyrics

“Bell Atlantic”

Flying free, on the lowest branch,
That’s me, I ride.
Looking up, the trunk connects
to all these sides.
There you are at the door
After school so I would never be alone.
There you are waiting for me by the telephone
When I forget to call.

Thirty years at the switchboard,
Headphones and a plug.
Didn’t go to school
Cause they said you weren’t smart enough.
But you were smart enough to love with all your heart
You were smart enough to live life alonger than the one that you were from.
When it all comes tumbling down
You are my heart.

I don't always remember you
walking around waiting for the next day to begin.
Trappings of the young are the snares
That lead me away again and again.
But I promise I’ll come back
When I pass through your woods again.
