| As night comes to the city, she's working hard on her computer | |
| She takes her work and bundles it up now, and then she shrugs her shoulders | |
| Slowly plods her way downstairs, drops the key off, starts the motor, | |
| Saves her life on tiny disks, they're not backed up, but she'll take that risk. | |
| Give or take an hour or two, he'll be heading in the same direction | |
| Swapping one desktop for another in the search for his reflection | |
| Figures dance before their eyes, but keep the world outside at distance | |
| Help to keep outside — the night. | |
| Four floors up he knows she's gone, he felt the movement in the ether | |
| With the city spread below, he calls to her across suburbia, | |
| The city will not carry his voice tonight. | |
| Back at home the keys still click to the rhythm of their isolation | |
| The flicker on the VDU's got the same old shade of grey frustration | |
| Both the desktops look the same in the quiet of their bedrooms | |
| Help to keep outside — the night. | |
| Four floors up he knows she's gone, he felt the movement in the ether | |
| With the city spread below, he calls to her across suburbia, | |
| Though the tiny icon lights up green in an empty room but goes unseen, | |
| She can't hear his hi-fi — Joni singing: | |
| “everything comes and goes, | |
| pleasure moves on too early, trouble leaves too slow” — not tonight | |
| He never knows if he'll be found, running for the underground | |
| But she looks for him in there | |
| Scanners trace him through the park, a red dot moving through the dark | |
| She waits for him in there, | |
| All the anger, all the pain, surfaces inside again | |
| All the passion, all the sex, all the heat of being... | |
| cyber — ex | |
| Waiting on the Ethernet, but he's not connected yet. |
| As night comes to the city, she' s working hard on her computer | |
| She takes her work and bundles it up now, and then she shrugs her shoulders | |
| Slowly plods her way downstairs, drops the key off, starts the motor, | |
| Saves her life on tiny disks, they' re not backed up, but she' ll take that risk. | |
| Give or take an hour or two, he' ll be heading in the same direction | |
| Swapping one desktop for another in the search for his reflection | |
| Figures dance before their eyes, but keep the world outside at distance | |
| Help to keep outside the night. | |
