Florencia Tropicana - Emperor X

It takes a call to make us face where we stop and start

And in the mall, at the J.C. Penney where your mama works

We drove across the state, halfway to Boston and the borderline

You bought a map

And the FTA (sic) searched your flight all night

A one way arrow puts you on Air France

Reverse the flow of time and your plane flies backwards

Let it crash into Florida and kill my chance

Standing on a desktop, screaming swear words

Getting crushed at the night club

You’re drinking too much tea from Long Island toxins

I see you dance to the Japanese dub

That you put in my head when we started talking

We fight

We’re sending out sabers through the satellites all night

Through the AP wires and security networks

Give light to your fiber-optic head

It’s a mess of cables

It’s a balled up fist

And it’s angry at the concept of technology drift

I open .txt files at the break of day

.psd extension blasted

Bleary eyes and a soulless sway

I swagger out the door

Yeah, I’m sure I’ve lost it

Update your journal with a data disc

I put it in your pack.

I don’t know where I tossed it

I made a tape recording of the Boston bridge

And sent as an attachment, but Friendster lost it

Cell phone blinks like a night light grade

I graduated twice, but I never lost it

I’ll UPS a copy of my Xeroxed face

I’ll send it overnight no matter what it costs

And if a transport Boeing hits an Airbus jet

From de Gaulle back to Logan

Then I’ll know I’ve lost it

.wav file whispers «Baby, scan my heart.»

They’re cutting the connection

I’ve already lost it
