Peacocks in the Video Rain

you can tell a cable from a tourniquet
 when 10, 000 12-year-olds mouth along
 tiny broken operatic sounds dissolved
 a loss that could not be found
 I know your mother
 I watched her watching you
 sequined 8-year-old cowboy
 she knew exactly what to do
 I love you too
 I'm only lonely through and through
 my friends say it's sad
 to hang my hat
 on such a silly pop singer
 an off the wall ringer
 but to stand and deliver
 at such an undeniable cost
 love is hard to give
 love is hard to take
 so I'm out the door
 on a 10-week tour
 so please get my mail
 and tell donnie I had to bail
 I love you too
 I'm only lonely through and through
 I saw a boy in shibuya
 mapping out your moves
 against a wall
 they filmed high and low
 sending you a message
 sending you a code
 I love you too
 I'm only lonely through and through
