We plumb such depths
To dark dark places
With poison on our lips
And contorted faces
Sometimes it seems
The fault lines won't fill
These fault lines so deep
Oh they can kill
And yet and yet and yet
I ring the doorbell
You open, and wait,
You smile at me -
- and it's 2008
This elastic love
Is a thing, you know
You pull you pull
You even let go
But it pulls you back
Like a crazy thing
Like a bungee jump
Like an L-Square drink
**
"And though time goes by
I will always be
In a club with you
In 1973
Singing, here we go again."
