Told my little Pollyanna
There's a place for you and me
We'll go down to Transverse City

Life is cheap and Death is free
Past the condensation silos
Past the all-night trauma stand

We'll be there before tomorrow
Pollyanna take my hand
Show us endless neon vistas

Castles made of laser lights
Take us to the shopping sector
In the vortex of the night

Past the shiny mylar towers
Past the ravaged tenements
To a place we can't remember

For a time we won't forget
Here's the hum of desperation
Heres the test tube mating call

Here's the latest carbon cycle
Here's the clergy of the mall
Here's the song of shear and torsion

Here's the bloodbath magazine
Here's the harvest of contusions
Here's the narcoleptic dream

Told my little Pollyanna
Here's a place where we can stay
We have come to see tomorrow

We have given up today
Down among the dancing quanta
Everything exists at once

Up above in Transverse City
Every weekend lasts for months
Here's the hum of desperation

Heres the test tube mating call
Here's the latest carbon cycle
Here's the clergy of the mall

Here's the witness and the victim
Here's the relatives' remains
Here's the well-known double helix

Here's the poisoned waves of grain
Here's the song of shear and torsion
Here's the bloodbath magazine

Here's the harvest of contusions
Here's the narcoleptic dream
Here's the hum of desperation
