walking down the street, you can't help but to put your hand around her waist
she says no: it's not the mood it's not the time it's not the place
you want to go to europe but the sights and sounds don't appeal to her
you're letting fly out from her cage your precious quetzalcotl
don't be afraid of the dark ages baby
she's coming back and with a few new tricks up her sleeve
you used to know her love her kiss her hug her every day
you're stuck in mexico while she goes off to europe far away
your bird is back with tattooed eagles dancing up and down her legs
her hair is long now and her skirt is short revealing throbbing veins
the former vegan bums a cigarette and puffs it in your face
she wants your wallet, wants to bring it to her boyfriend back in spain
don't be afraid of the dark ages baby
at least she's back - and that's gotta count for something
you used to love to tell her sweet forevers, everything's okay
if you dance enough the rain will come to wash her away
the doctor tells you you've got syphilis and that's just where it starts
she took your money took your health and worst of all she took your heart
you've got no job no prospects all you have left is your dignity
oh yeah she took that too - it looks like all you have is you
don't be afraid of the dark ages baby
at least she's gone again that's gotta count for something
you used to think that you would want to live to see another day
if you dance enough the rain will come to wash you away
if you dance enough
if you lie enough
if you hate enough
if you cry enough
if you've had enough
the rain will come to wash you away

Goodnight Moon

goodnight moon goodnight stars
goodnight lights and sounds of cars
goodnight books goodnight suzanne
goodnight snake who is a man
goodnight palmer goodnight bjork
in subconsciousness you lurk
goodnight spektor goodnight heap
to your sounds i fall asleep
goodnight songs that don’t quite rhyme
only kind of, just sometimes
goodnight table goodnight bed
goodnight all the things we said
goodnight the imprint of a love who never was
goodnight the sheets beside me that are left untouched
goodnight heating blanket in the stead of heating arms
sweet dreams and goodnight moon
goodnight harry goodnight jo
goodnight oh the places you’ll go
goodnight goodnight moon, oh gee
a meta-reference for me
goodnight headphones goodnight jack
goodnight milk and bedtime snack
goodnight tcod asb
goodnight hashtag lofnotc
goodnight hearts stars and balloons
goodnight pots of gold and horseshoes
goodnight shampoo goodnight brush
and things i’m vain about too much

i am mangled unconnected
my modem has ceased to transmit
its shimmering signals through
the electronic ether
and i like it
i feel time stop
i feel my heart quit beating
though i still am standing
and i like it
it’s time to unplug
it is a call to arms and legs
it is a call to spines
no longer do i hear
the twitter feeds
and myspace bulletins
nothing can reach me any more
and i like it
it’s time for us
to make our own twitpics
and youtube videos
and i like it
it’s time to unplug
it is a call to arms and legs
it is a call to eyes
it’s time to unplug
it is a call to arms and legs
it is a call to fingers toes and minds
unconnected is my favorite state of mind
uninformed unknowing is the way to go
cause when i give a little of myself to the world
inevitably there is nothing left for you
tick tock tick tock
