Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The minus is loveless, he talks to the land
And the leaves fall and the pond over-ices
She don't know the system plus she don't understand
She's got all the wrong fuses and splices
She's not gonna fix it up too easy
[Verse 2]
The masking tape tangles, it's sticky and black
And the copper proud headed queen Lizzie
Conducts little charges that don't get charged back
Well, the technical manual's busy
She's not gonna fix it up too easy
[Verse 3]
And she holds out a flashlight and she shines it on me
She wants me to tell her what the trouble might be
Well, I'm learning, it's peaceful with a good dog and some trees
Outta touch with the breakdown of this century
They're not gonna fix it up too easy
[Verse 4]
We once loved together and we floodlit that time
Input, output, electricity
But the lines overloaded and the sparks started flyin'
And the loose wires were lashin' out at me
She's not gonna fix that up too easy
[Verse 5]
But she holds out her candle and she shines it in
And she begs him to show her how to fix it again
And the sang that he sang her to soothe her to sleep
Runs all through her circuits like a heartbeat
She's not gonna fix it up too easy
