these feelings are dancing
sparking on copper chains
sailing across the sound waves
that carry love on a frequency
with lengths too short to see

there are telegraph wires
strung round and round and wound
about my head and heart bound
sharing heat, our radiation has seized
all those so foolhardy as to believe

and they’ll get to you
yes somehow they’ll get to you
speed of lightning, speed of sound
stretch to reach you where you can’t be found
but I’ll get to you
yes somehow I’ll get to you
through the speed of love

a spark flies from the touch
energy emitting recycled strength
elasticity created from the greatest lengths
transmitted and absorbed
with a shock our world is restored

and they’ll get to you
yes somehow they’ll get to you
speed of lightning, speed of sound
stretch to reach you where you can’t be found
but I’ll get to you
yes somehow I’ll get to you
through the speed of love
