Skip Town

The nights were all electronic, the earth was a pixilated 
comet, my voice was all ones and zeroes til you showed up. 
this whole goddamn city is a desert, the air is 
suffocating, it's aching with desperation. yeah, i'm all 
choked up now, i'm all choked up now. now that you're the 
lyric i could never cross out, yeah, you're the book i 
could never put down. i'm just scared when i wake up in the
 next town, you'll forget i was ever there at all. oh, she 
gets cleaned up and i'm stuck in time. "let's get out of 
here, let's get out of here. oh, let's not wait too long, 
let's get out of here, let's get the fuck out of here." i 
said, "oh, there'd be nothing in our way, like swimming in 
the ocean, you could just keep on going, so let's just keep
 going." but we just drift through the night, drinking all 
we can. yeah, we drank all we can, yeah, didn't we, love? 
yeah, we tried to forget: soon we'd be just tears in 
airport terminals, gasping for breath. and when the dawn 
crept up, my eyes refused to adjust to this empty bed as 
that silence poured in. i said, "oh, let's get out of 
here." i said, "oh, let's get out of here." i said, "oh, 
let's not wait too long, let's get out of here, let's get 
the fuck out of here." so kiss me. let's skip town.
