Elastic Love

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."
