Lyrics

Communication Break-Up

Boppin' suffin' blabbin' gabbin' [?]

Everybody's talkin

Big bongo baby yellin' mo! [?]

Who cares what they're sayin?

They're so dingydong mucho information

That nobody's listenin

Ear flaps block a simulation to [????]

A word anyone's sayin

Communication breakup..

Yeah, that's makin' me crazy

Needleshop whizkids yell [?]

Stop all the commotion!

Too bad, black Labradors

Fill the room with emotion

Like a black velvet painting

Of two lovers' passion

Let it get hectic and

Feel the electric [?]

Uh, communication breakup..

I'm losin' my mind

Like a meatball from Venus

Got a think[?] with your heart

Like a tuber from Ohio

Gotta think[?] with your heart

Crafty lawyers wore [?]

[?] (see what there is?)

Grab a solid plastic[?] periscope

You'll never be blind

Boppin' suffin' blabbin' gabbin' [?]

Everybody's talkin

Big bongo baby yellin' mo mo!

Who cares what they're sayin?

They're so dingydong mucho information

Nobody cares

Ear flaps block a simulation to [????]

A word anyone's sayin, ugh..

Communication breakup..

Oh, my wig's slippin' off

Like a meatball from Venus

Gotta think[?] with your heart

Like a spud boy from Akron

Gotta be with your mind

Crafty [?]

[?] (see what there is?)

Grab a solid plastic[?] periscope

You'll never be blind

Like a mego macho mongo

Gotta think[?] with your heart

Like a dribblin' wally

Gotta be with your mind

Like a movie monster mommy [??]

Hear with your eyes

[?]

Then you'll be in time

...

Communicado..

..breakup..

..yeah
