It's traveling faster than the eye can see
Information in the sky
Messages beamed across the atmosphere
Transmitted by you and I
Communication
Say the words
Are you there? Can I be heard?
First indication
Heart to heart
Come together worlds apart
Oh, thank heaven for the microwave
Can't ignore technology
It's so easy to communicate
How come you're not hearin' me
Communication
Say the words
Are you there? Can I be heard?
Station to station
Coast to coast
Face to face will tell you most
Now we're livin' in the computer age
The picture's on my video
I keep your number in my database
Turn it onto audio
Communication
Say the words
Are you there? Can I be heard?
(Why don't you say that you need me)
Person to person
Heart to heart
Come together worlds apart
Communication
Say the words
Are you there? Can I be heard?
Station to station
Coast to coast
Face to face will tell you most
Communication
Say the words
Are you there? Can I be heard?
First indication
Heart to heart
Come together worlds apart
Communication
Say the words
(Why don't you say it babe)
Are you there? Can I be heard?
(Why don't you say it babe)
Communication
(Why don't you say it babe)
Heart to heart
Come together worlds apart
Maybe he'll touch me, maybe he won't
Maybe he's just turning over
Feeling the words drying up in my throat
Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's not
Maybe I whisper I love you
Maybe the whisper is all that I've got
Could this be heaven, could this be hell
Lying asleep with a stranger
The stranger's the man that I once knew so well
Lying in darkness, lying so still
Why do we lie to each other?
Pretending the things will work out until ...
Chorus:
Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and over and over and ...
Once there was loving, then there was love
Two people wrapped in each other
Now separate shadows on the ceiling - no more
Then there was screaming, yelling and fights - over and over and over
Now the silence in this silent night .... aaawh
Chorus
Now won't you listen please
Oh, don't pretend that you're asleep
It seems like such an empty bed
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over ...
Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and out
Repeat Chorus twice
Communication
Light beams from outer space
Drifting to your satellite
Your dish responds
Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild in here
There's a girl on the floor
She's gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take us all, all away
Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
You should see the light
From the crown of the king
The king of the night
Spinning metal blue satellite
Your dish responds
Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
Situation's alright
Gonna keep up the lies
And our version of life
I won't leave this dirty place
I'll stay here 'til the end
The lights are on
So action man
Show us the truth
Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
There's a war out here
There's a bomb on the floor
Gonna blow this place apart

Yo, thank God for the season (...on)
Sittin there off of no reason
For 27 years I've been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I've found.
Some of them got closer then others
Some wouldn't even bother and then you came around
I didn't really know what to call you, you didn't know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your vanes
And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I'll never really learn how the love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.
Where I see you
And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
Well this is an invitation
It's not a thread
If you want communication
That's what you get
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
I was born in ’82, a poor man’s son
When it came to hand-me-downs he only gave me one
At first I was ungrateful, at once I was confused
He said, “music is the cup for you I pour
It’s all I really have, wish I could give you more
But I have to catch my ride, son, I’m off to a distant shore”
You see my dad gave me the keys but I’d have to show myself to the door
Soon the words he left were too faint to hear
And a path with no direction made it hard to steer
My soul was dry and thirsty, my mind was so unclear
While wandering around and searching there
I came across a man I’d seen before I swear
And again I’d see him too on a beach with the fading of the moon
And he’d say,
“Communication is calling you it’s all in you.
No hesitation, you’ve got to see this through”
I needed something to fill me up
In my bag a gift from dad, my music cup
Well, I should have looked here first in an attempt to quench the thirst
The taste was like a melody
With words to follow so expressively
I was off to share my song and no, it wouldn’t be too long
‘til I was standing on the stage and the crowd would sing it back to me
And we’d say,
“Communication is calling us it’s all in us,
a celebration for you and me and the universe, our destination”
(How we find the answers)
When we search beyond ourselves you know we always learn
(We become so clever)
Let our walls crumble and burn away
(Make a change forever)
Can we lend a better hand than the one that we’ve been dealt?
Let the music be the way we get there
And we sing,
“La la la la la la la la”
I walked the beach that morning and I found my faithful friend
Waiting there with words of wisdom and a fishing rod in hand
I watched him and I listened so peculiar and so sweet
Saying “Love is all that we need and communication”
I said,
“Communication is calling me and yes, it’s all in me”
The cup has served me well for fifteen years
With music in my world I’ve shed some fears
And I’ve tried to understand how to be a better man
There is rhythm to my life that ebbs and flows
And at times the inspiration comes and goes
But whenever it arrives, well, I go down a take a dive
For twenty-seven years I?ve been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I?ve found
Some of them got closer than others
Some wouldn?t even bother and then you came around
I didn?t really know what to call you, you didn?t know me at all
But I was happy to explain
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins and I saw you
But that?s not an invitation, that?s all I get
If this is communication I disconnect
I?ve seen you, I know you but I don?t know how to connect so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I?m still here behind you
In the corner of your eye
I?ll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky where I see you
And that?s not an invitation, that?s all I get
If this is communication I disconnect
I?ve seen you, I know you but I don?t know how to connect, so I disconnect
Well this is an invitation, it?s not a threat
If you want communication that?s what you get
I?m talking and talking but I don?t know how to connect
And I hold a record for being patient with your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me but I don?t know how to connect so I disconnect
Communication always leaves me in incomplete
The grass is greener, but it's grown beneath my feet
Love inspiration is a message on a wing
But I have left it in the words you'll never sing
Communication let me down
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here, I'm left here
Telex or tell me but it's always second-hand
I'm incognito but no rendezvous been planned
Dictate or relate I could send it to your home
"Return to sender" I could sing it down the phone
Communication let me down
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I
Dictate, relate
Dictate, relate
I'm sitting and waiting by the telephone
Waiting for the bell to ring
Short change fumble, 'Dial a heart' trouble
And I ain't got time for searching through the rubble, oh no
Well no
Communication let me down
And I'm left here
Communication let me down
And I'm left here, I'm left here, I, I, I
I'm left here
I'm left here
I'm left here
How much to know
How far to go
Still don't know
But never too much to show
You ask me to let you be a man
But what's that supposed to mean, Mr.?
Is hiding better than telling the truth?
It ain't deep enough
It ain't tight enough
Is hiding wiser than sharing the thoughts?
It ain't deep enough
It ain't tight enough
All I ask you for is
Communication
All I ask you for is
Communication
One day you'll be a super star
Then I'll be more scared of your mystique
Please make me feel that I am special
Don't be so private to me
Is hiding better than telling the truth?
It ain't deep enough
It ain't tight enough
Is hiding wiser than sharing the thoughts?
It ain't deep enough
It ain't tight enough
All I ask you for is
Communication
All I ask you for is
Maybe he'll touch me, maybe he won't
Maybe he's just turning over
Feeling the words drying up in my throat
Maybe he's sleeping, maybe he's not
Maybe I whisper I love you
Maybe the whisper is all that I've got
Could this be heaven, could this be hell
Lying asleep with a stranger
The stranger's the man that I once knew so well
Lying in darkness, lying so still
Why do we lie to each other?
Pretending the things will work out until ...
Chorus:
Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and over and over and ...
Once there was loving, then there was love
Two people wrapped in each other
Now separate shadows on the ceiling - no more
Then there was screaming, yelling and fights - over and over and over
Now the silence in this silent night .... aaawh
Chorus
Now won't you listen please
Oh, don't pretend that you're asleep
It seems like such an empty bed
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over ...

It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and out

COMMUNICATION
it started in december
the snow woulDnt stop to fall
she wouldnt stop to
wonder
but underneath it all
she had the intuition
dispite misinformation
that you will leave her in the cold
and at night she paces around her room
restless and lonely
steps into the night
for a smoke
then back inside
the connection will always be distorted
it was a cold and dark night
when you opened up her door
she was
laying still and cold
with a note on the bedroom floor
the message was unwritten
the paper was as blank as the
expression on her face
the connection will always be distorted
this is just a dream
wake her up
if she doesn't scream shake her
she's playing out a scene
just wake her up
shaky hands
cold
she stands alone
her attention burning fast then its gone
this is just a scene wake her up
she's playing out a dream
wake her up
if she doesn't scream
keep shaking

Communication
Define your time
As it relates to mine
Where rules are lies
Don't go
All the bridges are crumbled
I'll collapse every time
We've lost all our signals
Communication
What time has brought
Locked in continual thought
Our time is lost
Don't go
All the bridges are crumbled
I'll collapse every time
We've lost all our signals
For twenty four years
i've been trying to believe and confide in different
people i found others
Some of them got closer than
and some wouldnt even bother
and then you came around
i didnt really know what to call you

Don't hang up
Sweep the thoughts that kick you
In the butt
Once they take it twice
They gotta make it
As you buy it
Now you gotta try it
Use your mind while you can
Don't run away
Just act like a real man
Do as I say
Not as I do
You know what I mean
So don't you deny
That's why I gotta kick you
In the ass
Communication
Is it coming from the right direction
Is it just a little lack of information
Is it going to the wrong destination
Is it going to the right place
You're so pathetic
So ironic
And you ever try to tell me that
You're not an addict
Respect those who can
'Cause it's a fine line
Cross it and you'll be going back in time
Open the doors and open it wide
It will happen all like your first big smile
I got the feel that the road you took
Was not so appealing
I feel so strong
But not for so long
I'm going back to the place
Where I belong
I feel so strong
But not for so long
I'm going back to the place
Where I can try again
Try again and you'll stay like me
Give it a try don't ask yourself
There's nothing to loose but time
Television
The drug of the nation
Is it heaven or hell's creation
Turn on the stereo
Put on the news
Listen to their lies
That seems like our true
What's going wrong
What's going right
Look at yourself
I can't keep you by my side
Carry on sow that hole in your life
You just paid all this misery
Communication, no communication at all
I want to see you, I want to feel you so
Communication, no communication at all
Don't believe them everything you are told
Communication, no communication at all
Communication, no communication at all
I want to see you, I want to feel you so
Where have all the good times gone, when we were together, and life was fun
I wanted to give you the Moon and the Sun, and share my life with someone
I didn't want to change your life, I just wanted affection, not a wife
I didn't want to steal your individuality, and it wasn't just about sexuality
I used to think of your smile to myself
But now my life's a guessing game
Communications, broken down, Communications, broken down
My head is spinning round+round you pick me up then push me right back down
I just wish things could be the same, I know they can't go on this way
Sitting here on my birthday, wondering what can I do or say
To bring your friendship back my way, A million times I want to say
If you didn't feel so far away: I'd be picking flowers for you again today
But if you leave me in the dark today: I'll just have to be on my way
I've got somethin' I wanna talk about to you
Just another communication
It could help the situation
It's not the generation
That keep gettin' on this nation
What I say, what I say
What I say, what I say
We've made this world what it is today
For the way we live and what we do and say
The pitiable show in the eye of need
You close my eyes every time I don't see
What I'm sayin', what I'm sayin'
Well, look at here
Disgusting one another
But still callin' me your brother
And listen to me now
Now if you believe in what I am sayin'
I'll be back, take a slam
Like I say, like I say, like I say
Say, like I say, like I say
All we need is just a little communication
That could make this world a better nation
Just like the preachers congregation
They're all in to his conversation
What I say, what I say
Oh, Lord, good God
Don't put down your brother
On the way he dress
I am gettin' tired
And sick of your mess
Ooh, and if you believe
Oh Lord, I know you believe in what I am sayin'
And I want every man to take a stand
All you gotta to is help me
Help, help, help me
Why don't you help me?
Help me, help me, help me sing this song
Just a little communication
Just a little communication
If you see your brother fallin' down
Give him a chance to make him come around
Got to, got to
You've got to, I've got to
I've got to, you've got to, you've got to
Everybody, come on now
Know it's gonna take me back to [Incomprehensible]
Do it again
Need just a little communication
You can help this situation
It's got the, it's got the new generation
Just keep on tellin' down this nation
Communicate, it's a family affair
Communicate, it's a family affair
Communicate, baby
I know you hear me talkin' to you
