Erase Lyrics - Glean - They Might Be Giants

You and I will be together 

When we shed our memory 

I won't wear an orange sweater 

When I get it off of me 

When it's as it someday is 

It always will have been the case 

When your ever-searching finger 

Finds the button marked erase 

Finger find the button marked erase 

Like a deep sea diver Falling into a mermaid's embrace 

Put one box on the sidewalk 

Then you return with the next 

And the first one's gone 

Everyone gets on the bus out of town 

And the lights start going out one by one 

Button marked erase 

When darlings must be murdered 

When your heartbreak overwhelms your heart 

Think of this as solving problems 

That should never have occurred 

Please don't call it strangulation 

That is such an ugly word 

Press erase, ignore the shrill alarms 

See the way the deep sea diver 

Falls into the mermaid's arms 

Put one box on the sidewalk 

Then you return with the next 

And the first one's gone 

Everyone gets on the bus out of town 

And the lights start going out one by one 

Button marked erase 

When darlings must be murdered 

When your heartbreak overrides the very 

Thing you can not face 

The skeletons that won't stay down 

The mercy kill that can't be drowned 

Put 

Box 

Sidewalk 

Then 

Return 

Next 

First one gone 

Everyone 

On 

Bus 

Out 

Lights 

Out 

One by one 

Finger find the button marked erase 

Like a deep sea diver 

Falling into a mermaid's embrace 

Put one box on the sidewalk 

Then you return with the next 

And the first one's gone 

Everyone gets on the bus out of town 

And the lights start going out one by one
