Losing Faith in Words

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I just can't see why you can't see what I mean But I can't make things any plainer The words get in the way - Is that quite what I mean? If not now, then certainly sooner or later We've got a problem with communication - Look, I scrabble with my hands Well, I try to get some head-room from the elevation But you just don't understand [Verse 2] Most of the things we say mean we most of the time Treat our speech with derision Flap our hands in body-telegram - I know that gets through So much better than anything said with precision Hey! We've got a problem with communication And it's getting quite absurd... Well, I think I'm going to flip out from the sheer frustration Yes, I'm losing faith in words Losing faith in words Losing faith in words Losing faith in words [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] We've got a problem with communication Yes, we've, we've got a problem with communication Yes, I think we've got a problem with communication Well, I know we've got a problem with communication Only getting through in anagrams - Well, I try to get some linkage from articulation Yes, I try to get some head-room from the elevation Well, I try to pull back something from my education... Yes, I try to, try to, try to but I still don't understand I try, I just don't understand I talk, you just don't understand You just don't understand You just don't understand You just don't understand [Outro] Sometimes I don't know why I bother But I'm bothered
