Peacocks In The Video Rain - John Vanderslice

You can tell a cable from a tourniquet

When 10,000 12-year-olds mouth along

Tiny broken operatic sounds dissolved

A loss that could not be found

I know your mother

I watched her watching you

Sequined 8-year-old cowboy

She knew exactly what to do

I love you too

I’m only lonely through and through

My friends say it’s sad

To hang my hat

On such a silly pop singer

An off-the-wall ringer

But to stand and deliver

At such an undeniable cost

Love is hard to give

Love is hard to take

So I’m out the door

On a 10-week tour

So please get my mail

And tell Donnie I had to bail

I love you too

I’m only lonely through and through

I saw a boy in Shibuya

Mapping out your moves

Against a wall

They filmed «High and Low»

Sending you a message

Sending you a code

I love you too

I’m only lonely through and through
