Static Transmission

(ringing tone) {clean rhodes piano

chords,

soft vinyl crackle, atmospheric background warmth}

I don't know

if I can get a hold of you (mmm)

I left a message on the machine,

hope it gets through {intimate close-mic'd vocal,

soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar,

subtle

sub-bass} But I have a question for you

About the car that I have for you

And everything we said we'd do

Where do we go now?

{soaring falsetto vocal, laid-back neo-soul drum groove,

rich chorus guitar swell} And

wwwwwwww

Static on the line,

fading into gray

I'm still waiting for what

you have to say {warbling tremolo electric piano,

dynamic acoustic drum fills,

dry close-up vocals} But I have a question for you

About the car that I have for you

And everything we said we'd do

Where do we go

now? {soaring vocal climax,

full instrumental backing with warm rhodes and slide guitar}

I guess I'll try again another day

(click tone) {music fades out,

tape stop effect, final fading rhodes chord}
