Lyrics

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
