Ezra Furman - Lousy Connection Lyrics






It's late at night it's time to tell you my secrets
My personality's cut up into pieces
Modern society's my one secret weakness
I'm out of money and I'm out of my mind

We can't fit in so we just head for the fringes
Your universe of blue lipstick and syringes
Your bedroom doorway with the bugs in the hinges
Some things about you that I don't understand at all

But I, I don't wanna be the bad guy
I wanna see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you..
Wait, wait can you hear me now?
'Cause I, I have got a lousy connection
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you..
Wait can you hear me now?

So I've been working on this letter to congress
Regarding some things that I think they should address
Showed up in court wearing an Indian headdress
Somehow I think maybe the message was lost

It seems the clarity we knew is degraded
A royal flush where all the faces have faded
I want the universe, God knows I've been patient
I hear your voice behind a staticky storm

The century seems like it's turning out okay
It's like a game of worldwide karaoke
And my rich friends and me just sit and blow smoke rings
There's nothing happening and it's happening too fast

Try to interpret but the message is scrambled
The institutions that I lean have crumbled
I've got the world's ear; I'm all fucking mumbles
I guess I'm just another link in a chain

I, I don't want to be the bad guy
I want to see myself from the outside
Can you hear me now?
Wait can you..
Wait can you hear me now?
And I, I have got a lousy connection
I promise my undying affection
Can you hear me now?
Wait, wait can you..
Wait just can you hear me now?

  2. a.... h....

    Yumurta kokusu buraya kadar geldi

  3. G.... H....

    To all the Eggs, I hope you're able to hatch and be you as soon as you're able 🤘💜💜💜🤘

  4. T.... ....

    God Ezra is so underrated

  5. H.... W....

    I can't believe I didn't get into Ezra's music after watching Dirk Gently. I'm so disappointed in my past self!

  6. P.... C....

    is nobody going to bring up the fact that they are playing the drums with "drumsticks"?

  7. J.... S....

    ❤🇧🇷

  8. �.... �....

    Damn now I'm hungry

  9. G.... G....

    Love me some Ezra, but trust me, honey - you really don't want to be able to see yourself from the outside. It's painful. Bob Dylan, "The more you know, the more you suffer". Modest Mouse, "No one really knows the ones they love
    If you knew everything they thought
    I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up". Live your life and continue to enjoy the discovery, as I am with your works. <3

  10. k.... ....

    haha this century is turning out ok

  11. A.... A....

    my <3 flutters whenever he looks into the lens

  12. I.... ....

    That lipstick looks great on them :)

  13. J.... s....

    Just wanna say I just discovered y'all and I fukn love you!!!
    Remind me of David Bowie. Y'all can be the next David Bowie.
    😍😍😍

    J.... s....

    Jannetje smith From at least two interviews I remember that EF is not really into David Bowie, also saying DB has not had a big influence on his music if any. He thinks people only draw this conclusion because of the make up, and androgynous looks.

  14. j.... s....

    Fantastic song and amazing video. Saw Ezra and band live in Cork last Tuesday and boy did they rock, blown away I was!

  15. G.... V....

    I'm Mexican and I love the music of Ezra... I wish that Ezra come to Mexico:')

    G.... V....

    Nobody cares what race you are mate we can tell by your name

    G.... V....

    Vegan video!

  22. S.... G....

    my favorite

  23. C.... R....

    The aesthetics of it is terrible! Although making a clip by wasting food is hardly ethical... I get that the coloured eggs were emptied beforehand, but quite a lot of those we saw were just smashed in front of the camera.

  24. b.... s....

    I love Ezra songs, he is so talented, your music's make me happy, just good vibes 🌈❤❤

  25. C.... L....

    3:45 I just about die imagining the spit gliding back into his mouth

  26. E.... ....

    When I think about Drik Gentlys Holistic Detektive Agency being cancelled while hearing this song, i wanna cry.. Its one of the best shows I've ever seen!

  27. R.... M....

    Howtobasic Is here

  28. T.... M....

    I wonder how many eggs were wasted fir this.

  29. V.... R....

    Ezra Furman is amazing and amazingly underrated! Apart from everything else, now I have to thank him also for getting it to watch Dirk Gently!

    Ezra's aesthetic is very wow, they're definitely doing it right.
