This is a good old-fashioned boondoggle

So we will entertain this new model

But you want me to follow you into the dark

With some new death that you’re leaving in my arms

On your feet, you’re breathing hard

On my beat, repeat the part

When it starts to gather steam, remember me?

From the TV

It’s too bad, a pity that

You were late to the catch

When you look in my eyes, do you see the same thing

That I do when I’m alone?

And for once, would you pick up the phone and speak?

This here’s a good old-fashioned boondoggle

Don your cap and set your moon-googles

The silhouette, the neon heaven in the dark

And in its parts, is there an ember or a spark?

Is it real if you feel it?

Take a look in my eyes, and you’ll see the same thing

That I do when I’m alone—

If there’s someone in the hallway screaming something’s wrong

Do you hear the same thing

That I do when I’m alone?

There’s something you should know

It’s real if you feel it

Hey
