Permanent Hearts

5 non-ironic hours
From my destination
6000 years of civilization
And I still can't find
A decent radio station
And the sky is as orange as your eyes

Is this love
Or an unlawful
Search & seizure?
Break my heart
Baby
At your leisure
Make sure she's your
Perfect match
Or she'll scratch
Out your eyes
Tease you until you're hypnotized
Lies
Treachery
And deceit
Until you're lying face-down
In the street
Eating cobwebs
Under the sodium lights
I need an X-Ray machine
To read my rights
Tonight's the night we write our names
And draw permanent hearts
On the city

So ya wanna tell me a story
About falling in love
Well ya better make it gory
And I'm sorry
I'm so damn depressed
What I need
Is a deep, deep rest
All I need is a deep, deep rest
Scratch your fingernails
Across my chest
Another feather in your nest
Your eyes sparkle like broken glass
Sunk into a beautiful morass
And if you put your ear
To the subway grate
It's like you can hear the ocean
