Momus - Literature lyrics

She never writes
She's much too busy with her phone
And when you ask if she's alone
She says she must be stranded somewhere
And she's in her underwear
And there's a breeze and the evening is clear
Now her signal's breaking up
Off the map where there's a beach
Like a language without literature
Just out of reach
Chaos definitely suit's her
She has wandered too far

And now she declares
She's by a rockpool she can reach by a stair
And the sky is like a sea creature
Flung up into the air
Or is it just the evening star?
Limpid and blue

She says she must be stranded somewhere
So twitchy and vague
There's a breeze and the evening is clear
Now her signal's breaking up
With the frequency of waves atomic arrays
She says she's alone

Like a language without literature
Off the map where there's a beach
And she's in her underwear
Like a language without literature
Limpid and blue, she has wandered too far

(You do what you want to do and
I'll do what I want to do
Time crawls slowly round the room when I
I make my entrance
Eyes like headlights switch on you and I
I take my vengeance)
