The Airborne Toxic Event
Strange Girl
It was an old song from Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me that she sang
It was an old line I’d kept with me when she rang
You’re such a strange girl

It’s all been erased
Everyone is telling me. It’s slightly deranged
Everyone is telling me

We traded blindness for wisdom and some lines around our eyes. But you just act like it was a fact of life and didn’t come as a surprise
You’re such a strange girl

And no, you can’t ever go home
Everything has changed, and the people are gone
So you close your eyes, you summon the song
And you feel your life falling under you
Like a slide, like a slide

It was an old song, I once knew every note and every line
It was a long night when, I carried you and you carried me for a time
You’re such a strange girl

It’s all been erased
Everyone is telling me. It’s slightly deranged
Everyone is telling me
I dreamt of your face and what the song was telling me
But time has made it all obscene and trapped us in our dreams
