lousy connection - ezra furman lyrics

Loading...

[doo-wop refrain]

[verse 1]
it’s late at night; it’s time to tell you my secrets
my personality’s cut up into pieces
modern society’s my one secret weakness
i’m out of money, and i’m out of my mind

[verse 2]
we can’t fit in, so we just head for the fringes
your universe of blue lipstick and syringes
your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges
some things about you that i don’t understand at all

[chorus]
but i, i don’t wanna be the bad guy
i wanna see myself from the outside
can you hear me now?
wait can you—
wait, wait can you hear me now?
’cause i, i have got a lousy connection
i promise my undying affection
can you hear me now?
wait, wait can you—
wait can you hear me now?

[doo-wop refrain]

[verse 3]
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 headdress
somehow i think maybe the message was lost

[verse 4]
it seems the clarity we knew is degraded
a royal flush where all the faces have faded
i want the universe; god knows i’ve been patient
i hear your voice behind a staticky storm

[verse 5]
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

[verse 6]
try to interpret but the message is scrambled
the inst-tutions that i lean on have crumbled
i’ve got the world’s ear; i’m all f-cking mumbles
i guess i’m just another link in a chain

[chorus]
i, i don’t wanna be the bad guy
i wanna see myself from the outside
can you hear me now?
wait can you—
wait can you hear me now?
and i’ve, i have 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?
