Dark and Metric

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 windscoop
No magazine 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
