	There’s a kind of music that reminds me of you
	It’s all clear expensive drinks and shiny shirts
	And the click of heels as they descend from the taxi
	Like the first foot on the moon, oh, and it glows with ache
	And if it hits me right it’s almost too much to take
	And it’s got right angle laser razor thin lines
	That curve and swerve like perfect sines
	As we dress to the nines in an
	Attempt to leave it all behind
	In a search of the moment between the seconds where
	Everything is just fine
	That silver thread embedded deep within our spines
	And I used to be kind of weird about this
	A fear of dependence on a guilty gilt-edged
	Hedged transcendence that makes us liars
	And tense the fear of looking down and seeing
	That nothing really suspends us
	But it was never just another
	Saturday night
	Not with you in attendance
	So put your hands in the air
	And wave them like you just don’t care
	It’s on a whim; it’s on a dare
	To shrug away what we can’t bear
	And we’re going back and forth
	And back and forth and back and forth and back
	We’re going back and forth
	And back and forth and back and forth and back
	So it’s a deep blue see-through membrane that protects us
	It connects us, a pulsing cellophane
	Party-train skein that helps us and
	Envelopes and keeps us locked inside
	Forever and ever along for the ride
	And we’re moving through a phosphorescent gel
	A semi-solid self-lit ocean and it’s a funny notion, isn’t it?
	Yeah, but
	I’m kinda digging it
	And it’s rigged and isn’t nearly so big
	And it speaks only of its own
	Perpetual near miss
	Like the uncertain memory
	Of a stranger’s mistaken kiss
	As faces slide by in glowing shadows
	Like snowbound ghosts that go up and down
	In epileptic shivers and negative radioactive slivers
	In a landscape of endless dull glitter
	And a taste in my mouth so sweet, yet so bitter
	We exhaust ourselves trying to get there
	Somebody scream—all right
	We’ll try to fill the echoless night
	So fasten up and hold tight
	We can’t give up without a fight
	And we’re going back and forth
	And back and forth and back and forth and back
	We’re going back and forth
	And back and forth and back and forth and back
	So in the end, whatever, we die, we dissolve
	Equations unbalanced, riddles unsolved
	And we were never connected or involved
	Except for the intersections and crazy mathematics
	With no time and no space and no schedule and no place
	And they pass right through us without a trace
	And sometimes that music drifts through my car
	On a spring night when anything is possible
	And I close my eyes and
	I not my head
	And I wonder how you been and
	I count to a hundred and ten
	Because you’ll always be my hero, even if
	I never see you again
