Saw you last night in a hyperspace movie,
Might as well be in a video game,
I tried to wave, but I'm still where you left me,
Over the Kafka line.
Now I look at you like a telephone menu,
Twelve little buttons, none of them mine,
Stories you tell me just words you would sell me,
Over the Kafka line.


(Chorus)
I look at you, and there's no one there,
No analog feedback, nothin' to share,
You're fadin' away and you just don't care,
Over the Kafka line,
Over the Kafka line.

You and I shared such a virtual moment,
Livin' a part we both want to play
Then with the NAK of a negative packet,
We got nothing else to say,
Now I look at you like a name on a web page,
Clickable link to a dream of some kind,
Close the connection, change the direction
Over the Kafka line

(Chorus)

Now you're gone with a glitch like a ghost in the socket,
Over the border, floatin' in time,
Blown on the breeze of the maze of the moment,
Over the Kafka Line.
And I look at you like a blip in the bitstream
Incorrect password, access denied
Only a trace at the edge of my memory,
Over the Kafka line.

How does it feel when there's no one there,
No analog feedback, nothin' to share,
You're fading away 'cause you just don't care,
Over the Kafka line,
Over the Kafka line,
Two steps over the Kafka line.
