Lyrics Peacocks In The Video Rain - John Vanderslice

Peacocks In The Video Rain

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
