Jetpack Angel

from Escape from Leptonia by Quark Lepton

lyrics

In the town where we both came from,
The resting place of the dead and lame,
Into the town that never changes,
Like a chameleon, oh yeah she came.

To the place of crooked strangers
With her retinue all in tow,
To cast pearls among the poor and dangerous
Who asked "How do you know the things you know?"

With a jetpack, like an angel,
Texting messages from beyond,
In the deserts where the trains dwell
She was sweet and cold as a pond

And I'll ask you not to repeat
All these praises I have sung,
Not to sprinkle in your notebook
Effusive heartblood that I've wrung
From these cliches and these stories
From these lies that I have spun.

Where she's gone to, I don't consider--
To some mountain all clothed in snow,
Or some world, 'midst space's glitter?
Well, I swear that I don't care to know.
