Dark and Metric by They Might Be Giants Lyrics

No taxi could take you
No trains rolling by
No bicycle shop
No planes in the sky
Planes in the sky

Not a night spent in jail
Parrot on my arm
Not a man of the world
No patch on my eye
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 wind scoop
No mag wheels in back
No hydraulic shocks
No privacy glass
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
