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
