The Ethernet - The Tangent
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 hifi 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
Figures dance before their eyes
But keep the world outside at distance
She's waiting on the Ethernet
But he's not connected yet
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
Four floors up he knows she's gone
He felt the movement in the ether
With the city spread below
Be calls to her across suburbia
Pleasure moves on too early
Trouble leaves too slow tonight tonight tonight tonight
Everything comes and goes
