lyrics

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
