Before tonight, It was a wink and a nod, Then a bar stool scrapped the floor, And in 4 seconds we spoke the languages, Confidence, Affection, Lust, Anticipation Yet not one word escaped our lips The glowing warmth of reality. I still speak those languages, better than I ever have, But my fingers do not Nor do these plastic keys And I wink at this flat glass box And it showers me in pale light I reach out to caress its shoulder And it bathes me in pale light I spent all night in The Electricity Pub And I saw hundreds of faces, perfectly still, My fingers tried to reach out, They nailed the keys without apprehension, And all the blank faces stared back in silence Except yours.

The Electricity Pub
Before tonight, It was a wink and a nod, Then a bar stool scrapped the floor, And in 4 seconds we spoke the languages, Confidence, Affection, Lust, Anticipation Yet not one word escaped our lips The glowing warmth of reality. I still speak those languages, better than I ever have, But my fingers do not Nor do these plastic keys And I wink at this flat glass box And it showers me in pale light I reach out to caress its shoulder And it bathes me in pale light I spent all night in The Electricity Pub And I saw hundreds of faces, perfectly still, My fingers tried to reach out, They nailed the keys without apprehension, And all the blank faces stared back in silence Except yours.
