Switched off

Your twitter-line suggests I should call you
Let's meet and / or talk soon
My I-phone requests a MMS
A message on my machine demands a fax
My fax says"letter follows"
Your SMS"Give me a call and let's discuss"
Gave you a call but got your voicemail
Saying"Leave a message, I'll get back to you asap"

Perpetually suspended communication
Perpetually suspended communication

Had a Skype line from a Facebook-friend
Asking me to check my Blackberry
About a phone call he needed to make
Apropos an e-mail that he'd received on his I-phone
Asking for further information
Concerning an I-pad he was thinking of buying
From the US Craigslist online to be sent
To his European home by Fed-Ex

Virtually impossible communication
Virtually impossible communication

I had to page your assistant 'cause I had to
Tell her to tell you I'm too busy
To grab a quick coffee with you
'Cause my computer caught a virus
And I have to try and save the files
Which carry all those addresses and all those numbers
Of all those friends that I keep missing
Due to numerous layers of electronic barriers

Overwhelmingly incomplete communication
Overwhelmingly incomplete communication

Found a note on my desk that said you'd called for a candle-lit dinner at nine but not before
Since you have to record some talk-show on the TV

And then organize your pizza-delivery plan, but no pizza-man available
His line was busy all night long

Meanwhile, I type your address on my GPS which is connected to this powerful satellite dish
But I never made it to your home because of a flat tire
And I really don't have a clue how to handle a flat tire

Perpetually suspended communication
Perpetually suspended communication
