Lousy Connection

作词 : Ezra Furman

作曲 : Ezra Furman

It's late at night it's time to tell you my secrets

My personality's cut up into pieces

My new society's my one secret weakness

I'm out of money and I'm out of my mind

We can't fit in so we just head for the fringes

Your universe, your blue lipstick, and syringes

Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges

Something's about you that I don't understand

I, I don't want to be the bad guy

I want to see myself from the outside

Can you hear me now, wait, wait can you, wait, wait can you hear me now?

Cuz I've got a lousy connection

I promise my undying affection

Can you hear me now, wait, wait can you, wait, wait can you hear me now?

So I've been working on this letter to congress

Regarding some things that I think they should address

Showed up in court wearing an Indian head-dress

Somehow I think maybe the message was lost

It seems the clarity we knew is degraded

A royal flush but all the faces have faded

I want the universe, God knows I've been patient

I hear your voice behind a staticy storm

The century seems like it's turning out okay

It's like a game of worldwide karaoke

And My rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings

There's nothing happening and it's happening too fast

Try to interpret but the message is scrambled

The institutions that I lean are crumbled

I've got the world's ear but I'm all ******* mumbles

I guess I'm just another link the chain

I, I don't want to be the bad guy

I want to see myself from the outside

Can you hear me now, wait, wait can you hear me now?

And I've got a lousy connection

I promise my undying affection

Can you hear me now, wait, wait can you, wait, just can you hear me now?
