[Verse 1]
My darling cruises the streets for pleasure
Skyscrapers in the dead love dawn
Throbbing blood mind selfless creature
Forever yours and then she's gone

[Chorus]
Radios play nothing when she's far away
TV antenna nothing gone to waste
Radio transmitting nowhere it falls away
She's far away

[Verse 2]
Every corner creeping panic
Freak lighting in her abstract mind
Rubber stamps and dreams of cash flow
Wild blood ecstatic crime

[Chorus]
Radios play nothing when she's far away
TV antenna rust and gone to waste
Radio transmitting nowhere it falls away
She's far away

[Verse 3]
Every day I feel more like her
Street magic in the burning dawn
Out for blood my selfless lover
Forever yours and then she's gone
