Strange Land from Mister & Jeff by Mister Tahti & Jeff Hinich

i met a girl in a strange land
i could never remember where she came from
i never understood where she was coming from
standing under the mountains she could not see
they were too high and so was she
and so was I.
My eyes were dry and red
my brain was dead
and she said things I couldn't believe
even when all the evidence
was right there in front of me

she said: "Our love is no snow white dove
holding out a branch like an apostrophe."
No it's the black mark at the end of a death sentence.
It's a raven of catastrophe.

and I said:
You can gouge away at my senses
My own damn heart always leaves me defenseless.
This evil star spells disaster.
Would you believe love is all I was ever after?
You're all I crave, tsunami wave
make the buildings crack and the pavement fade away to black
right there in front of me.

i met a girl in a strange land
she could never understand where I was coming from
she could never remember where I can from
