Bad Connection

That window used to open wide

February cold is on the other side

And you're history now

You cannot be changed

On this side of the river it's dry

Could be snowing on the other side

Oh it's quiet now

But I know that that won't stay

An abstract picture wants to all come too clear

An abstract picture and you're the painter

When from the moment that you pushed

It was mistakenly exact

Like a bad connection

On the telephone

Like a bad connection

On the telephone

And I'm standing right in front of you

This fire must weigh five hundred pounds

The way it's weighin' me down

But it's history now

And it cannot be changed

And where do all the good times go

May as well been made of snow

I'm told that what the living do is

They just go on

An abstract picture wants to all come too clear

An abstract picture and you're the painter

When from the moment that you pushed

It was mistakenly exact

Like a bad connection

On the telephone

Like a bad connection

On the telephone

And I'm standing right in front of you

An abstract picture wants to all come too clear

An abstract picture and you're the painter

When from the moment that you pushed

It was mistakenly exact

Like a bad connection

On the telephone

Like a bad connection

On the telephone

And I'm standing right in front of you

Like a bad connection (like a bad connection)

On the telephone

Like a bad connection (like a bad connection)

On the telephone

But I'm standing right in front of you
