Technical Difficulty

The lobby was glowing

The lighting was right

The menu was gourmet

I was dressed for the night

We went through the motions

We followed the script

But the signal was glitchy

And the hardware just slipped

Oh it's a technical difficulty

A 404 error in the sheets

It's a technical difficulty

The rhythm is skipping on the beat

It's not my hardware

It's not my design

But I'm the one waiting

On the service line

You're selling me broadband

On a dial-up speed

You're promising harvest

But you didn't plant seed

I checked the connection

I rebooted the mood

But the screen is still frozen

And I'm not being rude

I'm just observing the data

I'm reading the log

We're stuck in a sequence

Lost in the fog

Oh it's a technical difficulty

A 404 error in the sheets

It's a technical difficulty

The rhythm is skipping on the beat

It's not my hardware

It's not my design

But I'm the one waiting

On the service line

If the engine won't turn

Don't tell me it's fine

Don't blame the gasoline

Or the vintage of wine

Just put out a notice

Post it up on the door

So I don't go looking

For what isn't in store

Maybe try a restart

Maybe check the power cord

But I'm not the tech support

Who's gonna get bored

Trying to fix a system

That you won't admit is down

I'll just take my business

To the other side of town

Oh it's a technical difficulty

A 404 error in the sheets

It's a technical difficulty

The rhythm is skipping on the beat

It's not my hardware

It's not my design

But I'm the one waiting

On the service line

Service is interrupted

Please try again never

Or maybe just try honesty

It's a better endeavor
