| (Verse 1)
All I'm hearin' is the s-s-static on the line You committed the crime, I-I'm doin' the time You've become the blank pages in my diary Like the lost remote for my T-T-TV (Chorus) You're tryin' to switch me off, so I'm pullin' the plug So we're in radio silence again Like a computer virus, yeah, you gave me the bug So we're in radio silence again Again, again So we're in radio silence again (Verse 2) I've given you the blueprints f-f-for your life I've built them all out of lines, but not made the design I programmed you to fit, fit with my desires I think I pushed too hard, now I need to rewire (Chorus) You're tryin' to switch me off, so I'm pullin' the plug So we're in radio silence again Like a computer virus, yeah, you gave me the bug So we're in radio silence again Again, again So we're in radio silence again Like a computer virus, yeah, you gave me the bug So we're in radio silence again (Bridge) You gave me nothing, nuh-uh Nothing logical You gave me nothing, nuh-uh Nothing logical (Chorus) You're tryin' to switch me off, so I'm pullin' the plug So we're in radio silence again Like a computer virus, yeah, you gave me the bug So we're in radio silence again Again, again |
