Everyone knows that gut wrenching feeling when they realize something isn't quite right. Bad connection follows that intuition to the end of the line, past the symbolic clashes over the dishes and through cold lonely nights spent in the doghouse. Despite the battles, Bad Connection ultimately pays homage to the flame that first lit the fire even as it gutters out into oblivion.
This track was recorded at Chillhouse Studios in Charlestown, MA. Engineered mixed and mastered by Will Holland.
lyrics
Your hesitation…
Catching you on the fly
Slept at the station
With your favorite lie
Well my love
When you come home fucked up
And get tough
You’re breaking up…
My hesitation
I called you to say goodbye
Couldn’t look you in the eye
Oh my love
When you come home fucked up
And get tough
Well tonight I've had enough
You’re breaking up
I broke your favorite mug
You’re breaking up
From a bad connection
Oh what for
These signatures
To break our lease
With hardwood floors
And our cat
You’re angry that
We shaved off all its fur
Go flushing
All diamond rings
I'm twirling in the cord
All these kinks
That clog our sink
Go smashing on the floor
I called you at the last pay phone booth
But it did not go through
Out on the platform
The waxing moon forms an arc
As I fade in the dark
You’re breaking up
I broke your favorite mug
You’re breaking up
From a bad connection
