They Might Be Giants - Erase lyrics

you and I will be together when we shed our memory I won’t wear an orange sweater when I get it off of me when it’s as it someday is it always will have been the case when your ever searching finger finds the bu*ton marked erase finger find the bu*ton marked erase like a deep sea diver falling into a mermaid’s embrace put one box on the sidewalk then you return with the next and the first one’s gone everyone gets on the bus out of town and the lights start going out one by one bu*ton marked erase when darlings must be murdered when your heartbreak overwhelms your heart think of this as solving problems that should never have occurred please don’t call it strangulation, that is such an ugly word press erase, ignore the shrill alarms see the way the deep sea diver falls into the mermaid’s arms put one box on the sidewalk then you return with the next and the first one’s gone everyone gets on the bus out of town and the lights start going out one by one bu*ton marked erase when darlings must be murdered when your heartbreak overrides the very thing you can not face the skeletons that won’t stay down the mercy k** that can’t be drowned put. box. sidewalk. then. return. next. first one gone. everyone. on. bus. out. lights. off. one by one. finger find the bu*ton marked erase like a deep sea diver falling into a mermaid’s embrace put one box on the sidewalk then you return with the next and the first one’s gone everyone gets on the bus out of town and the lights start going off one by one
