Airmail, cassettes.. postcards, telex
Drop me a line, be my grapevine
I'm always trying to reach you, can't get through
Our communication depends on me and you
Got to stay in touch even though we're on the move
Keep your lines open, say, what's new
Exchange the facts, keep in contact
I keep on trying to call you but I can't get through
Our communication must get through

Communication.. don't hang up
Communication.. keep in touch
Communication.. don't put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul

Send word, stay tuned, call me real soon
Every time I phone you, you're not home
We've got to stay in touch on the telephone
I keep on trying to reach you
But I can't get through
Our communication must get through

Communication.. baby, talk to me

Communication.. information, please
Communication.. don't put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul

Communication.. don't hang up
Communication.. keep in touch
Communication.. don't put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul

Communication.. baby, talk to me
Communication.. information, please
Communication.. don't put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul

Communication.. baby, don't hang up
Communication.. keep in touch
Communication.. don't put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul

Communication.. baby, talk to me
Communication.. information, please
Communication.. don't put me on hold
Situation.. soul to soul

Communication.. ahh, don't hang up....

The Power Station is a band formed in 1984 and consists of Robert Palmer, Tony Thompson of Chic and of Duran Duran, John and Andy Taylor. After considering the name Big Brother, the band named themselves after the Power Station recording studio where the band did all of their recording. It was originally envisioned as a band with various singers, but after Palmer recorded “Communication”, it was decided to stick with him for all of the songs.
