The minus is loveless

 

He talks to the land

 

And the leaves fall

And the pond over ices

 

She don't know the system plus

She don't understand

 

She's got all the wrong fuses and splices

 

She's not going to fix it up

 

Too easy

 

The masking tape tangles

 

It's sticky and black

 

And the copper

Proud headed queen lizzie

 

Conducts little charges

That don't get charged back

Well the technical manual's busy

 

She's not going to fix it up too easy

 

And she holds out her flashlight

 

And she shines it on me

She wants me to tell her

What the trouble might be

 

Well I'm learning

It's peaceful

With a good dog and some trees

Out of touch with the breakdown

Of this century

 

They're not going to fix it up

 

Too easy

 

We once loved together

 

And we floodlit that time

 

Input output electricity

 

But the lines overloaded

 

And the sparks started flying

 

And the loose wires

Were lashing out at me

 

She's not going to fix that up

 

Too easy

 

But she holds out her candle

 

And she shines it in

 

And she begs him to show her

How to fix it again

 

While the song that he sang her

To soothe her to sleep

Runs all through her circuits

 

Like a heartbeat

 

She's not going to fix it up

 

Too easy
