Lyrics
Long Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've got the soul of a lover
But it gets lost in the wires
All the static confusion
Destroys the illusion
Of your secret desires
When I call you long distance
I can't wait till I hear you
But there's a bad connection
No communication
I can't seem to get near you
Long distance, you're so far away
My telephone never knows what to say
Electronic voices never give themselves away
Whoa - long distance
I hear the whisper of voices
They're all adrift in the trunk lines
All those words from the heart
Just one more part of a computer grapevine
But though your voice is so sold
And it's so hard to hear
When I get you alone
In the night - it's alright
