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
