Geek Love Lyrics

I was driving your car,

You were sleeping again.

Voices on the radio tried to keep me awake,

But they couldn't and I dreamt about

Swimming in some lake

Or the Bronx river

Where you skinny dipped with so much class

And the toxic sludge gave you super powers

And now your eyes glow greener than the early summer grass

I open mine and drive three more hours.



Pit stop in Baltimore lasted for three days

And we only thought it'd be two.

But I'm glad that we stayed there till Sunday, mm hmm

'Cause that's when my mobile dream came true.

And we walked down a mountain where we

Thought no one would see us

I was grumpy and you didn't have any shoes

And when we jumped in the reservoir

Naked as the days our mothers bore us

These twelve year old boys threw rocks at you.



And we are two freaks from some far off sideshow

We ditched the circus to find ourselves new homes

And if my lips don't counter the rebukes of our old masters

It's just 'cause they're locked on you.



Driving through Tennessee I held your head loose

Stopped at a gas station to piss and read the news

Big talk about car bombs and a war that'll never end

And the WEF is meeting in Jordan

And the Dead Sea is drying up a little bit each day

they say in ten years time it'll be gone

And the kids in the future won't believe me when I say

You used to be able to float on the water like the sun.



New Orleans we found a twenty in the gutter

So we went out and had our first tequilas of the summer

Talked about the burdens of being in love and being alive

I drove you back to your brother's, you were passed out by five.

I watched the way your eyes twitched in rhythm with your mouth

I wanted to write you a letter but I couldn't hold a pen.

This time tomorrow I'll be north, you'll still be south

I don't know when the hell I'm gonna see you again.
