Lyrics
a few remaining luminaries
one then two lost canaries
i made love in a mine shaft
with a woman whose face i could not see
drinking vapors of gas i could not taste
and wondering if darkness had ever been so dark before
one by one each candle went out
painting shadows on cavern walls
there's no exit in this vertigo world
so let's stay
find warmth in the comfort of each other
one canary
two canary
three canary
more
a silence so encapsulating
a disease not so malignant
a night not so bright as the heat between bodies
causing sparks to fly
igniting dynamite friction
she and i invented fire in the center of the earth
watched the overflow seep through cracks in the dirt
saturating the moon lit mountain terrain
once again
and we're just
one canary
two canary
three canary
more
just one canary
two canary
three canary
no more
