Communication Blues Lyrics

I'm shutting off the news
I stretch myself so thin in my own world
Communication blues
Communication blues

And when you call, when you call
I don't think that I'm safe at all
Because you know how to get me
Running back to places I've gotten past
With the shock value cynic's talking way too deep
Now able body around, they're all walking in sleep
And I'm over
Yeah, it took me over

Paradise I lost
Can't really say where I'd rather be
Now taking one means two
Communication blues

And when you call, when you call
I don't think that I'm safe at all
Because you know how to get me
Running back to places I've gotten past
Where the shock value cynic's talking way too deep
No able body around, they're all getting sleep
And I'm over
Yeah, it took me over

When you call, when you call
I don't think that I'm safe at all
Because you know how to get me
Running back to places I've gotten past
Where the shock value cynic's talking way too deep
No able body around, they're all getting sleep
And I'm over
Yeah, it took me over
Yeah, it took me over
And it took me over

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
