about

The dismal intersection of love and technology, examining the seeming virtues of tech-amore (or “netrophilia,” if you will).

lyrics

When love is measured out in megs 
And drizzled out like bitter dregs 
And broken souls are left to pine…  

Somehow we always find a way 
Perhaps a Facebook PDA 
Will works its magic down the line

Absence makes the heart grow fonder 
I don't want to live no longer 
Absence makes the heart grow fonder 
Yeah.

And when you're tired of my tales 
A cache of multi-threaded mails 
Arrives in just the nick of time. 
And so we text across the miles 
In every cake encrypted files
 Lacking reason, lacking rhyme  

There's no flash in lightning 
There's no fire in thunder 
There's no spark between us
And it makes me wonder...
