lyrics

“let’s go to houston,” she said,
“to be closer to the moon.”
we laughed about it all weekend.
seemed as good as any a thing to do.
we named our favorite places
we’d never been but would like to go.
i, a tuscan village.
she, tokyo.

and we’ll find solace in this place when we go
and they can see it on our faces in photos (and our clothes)
that we didn’t come here strictly for the thrill of it...
we ran away.

to think, all because of dinosaurs
that i’ve read about in books,
i know the finest hiding spots...
the last places they’ll ever look
