Eighteen shows in twenty days I missed you by the 2nd
This city's full of walking dead
Was sleepless by the 7th
Phone booth calls me from the air, I wonder if they listen
The cosmonauts connecting us from satellites that I've never been to or never will
As we talk the speed of sound moves slower than we listen
Our phrases are decoded by the cosmonaut technicians
Always rain and always grey, this broken English accent
Is drowning out your voice tonight, and I'm barely speaking
Now I've lost all feeling
This is how it goes tonight, we're distance-challenged lover
This is how it goes tonight, we're polar from the other
This is how it goes tonight, as you rise I'm setting
This is how it goes tonight, and I'm barely breathing
Now I've lost all feeling
