The Heart That Hears Like a Bat

We dine on waterfront fare

But shots rang out in the air

And in between gasps comes the sound

Of young girls crying

For all young love is dying

I got off too soon

And silence fills the room

We could buzz like it was

But can never go back to how we were

There’s no sense in listening to you purr

And I was looking for a lover

And I was looking for a friend

And I was waiting for that special song

That would never end

Played by toys that make music

Of electrical joy

Played for girls that were missing

And girls that were boys

And I was looking at some names

Carved into a tree

I said 'hey that was you'

'Hey that was me'

Hey that was us on the back of the bus

Thinking about anything to pass the time
