[Verse 1]
If science is half the man it says it is
Then I can build it
The machine that snaps
All of time in half
I can break its back
I can break its back
I can build a door
And I can travel through
They do it with telephony
You don't see it much anymore, but
But surely I
But surely I

[Chorus]
If I could just hear your voice
If I could just hear your voice
But I don't think I have the choice

[Verse 2]
The look on your face
When I first connect the line
For the very first time
My words come slowly to mind
"Is anybody there?"
All trembling and scared
Replies then come
Fainter than air
[Outro]
"When the world hates a body, it just throws itself away to a place where our hands can't reach."
