D#                  G#     F#
Tower of Babel has fallen down again
             A#
Information disarray
D#                   G#      F#
I don't know who I should believe in
                   A#
Everybody’s an authority

D#         G#    F#
Fragments don't count
                   A#
They always end up falling through the cracks
D#           G#   F#
Don't think out loud
                           A#
'cause once it's out your mouth, can't take it back

Chorus:
D#
Can't say all the little things
G#            F#              A#
That I wanna tell you right now
D#
I know you won't understand
G#           F#             A#
But I gotta tell you somehow
    D#                  G#
And on and on and on I go
    F#                        A#
Connect the neck to what's below I know
D#                G#        F#
Now your body language is broken
       A#
Broken english

Lost inside communication breakdown
Better just read my lips
Come in clear when we get down
Iceberg, just the tip

My words get lost
Can you read the look that's on my face?
Wires get crossed
In communion with the human race
