Lousy Connection

(Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Shut up, sha-da-bee-dup, shut up, shut up) (Sha-da-bee-dup, shut up, shut up) (Sha-da-bee-dup, shut up, shut up) (Oh, dow-dow) 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 (oh, dow-dow) 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 And always I, I don't want to be the bad guy I want to see myself from the outside Can you hear me now, wait, can you, wait, wait, can you hear me now? 'Cause I've, I've got a lousy connection I promise my undying affection Can you hear me now, wait, wait, can you, wait, can you hear me now? (Shut up, sha-da-bee-dup, shut up, shut up) (Sha-da-bee-dup, shut up, shut up) (Sha-da-bee-dup, shut up, shut up) (Oh, dow-dow) 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 (oh, dow-dow) 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 static-y storm This 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 (oh, dow-dow) Try to interpret but the message is scrambled The institutions that I lean on are crumbled I've got the world's ear, I'm all fucking mumbles I guess I'm just another link in 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, can you, wait, can you hear me now? And I've, 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?
