The Heart That Hears Like a Bat

We dine on waterfront fare
But shots rang out in the air
And in between gasps comes the sound
Of young girls crying
For all young love is dying

I got off too soon
And silence fills the room
We could buzz like it was
But can never go back to how we were
There’s no sense in listening to you purr

And I was looking for a lover
And I was looking for a friend
And I was waiting for that special song
That would never end

Played by toys that make music
Of electrical joy
Played for girls that were missing
And girls that were boys

And I was looking at some names
Carved into a tree
I said ‘hey that was you’
‘Hey that was me’
Hey that was us on the back of the bus
Thinking about anything to pass the time
