Dark And Metric Lyrics

No taxi could take you, no trains rolling by
No bicycle shop, no planes in the sky
Not a night spent in jail, parrot on my arm
Not a man of the sword, no patch on my eye

Dark and metric is my town
every day and night
Just because you're floating
doesn't mean you haven't drowned

No spoiler, no windscoop, no magazine back
No hydraulic shocks, no privacy glass

Dark and metric is my town
North, East, West and South,
Just because you're smiling
doesn't mean you haven't drowned.

Cover art for Dark And Metric lyrics by They Might Be Giants

I always find this song amusing, how his style of singing contrasts the morose lyrics.
