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
