BMI  Told my little Pollyanna  There's a place for you and me  We'll go down to Transverse City  Life is cheap and Death is free  Past the condensation silos  Past the all-night trauma stand  We'll be there before tomorrow  Pollyanna take my hand  Show us endless neon vistas  Castles made of laser lights  Take us to the shopping sector  In the vortex of the night  Past the shiny mylar towers  Past the ravaged tenements  To a place we can't remember  For a time we won't forget  Here's the hum of desperation  Heres the test tube mating call  Here's the latest carbon cycle  Here's the clergy of the mall  Here's the song of shear and torsion  Here's the bloodbath magazine  Here's the harvest of contusions  Here's the narcoleptic dream  Told my little Pollyanna  Here's a place where we can stay  We have come to see tomorrow  We have given up today  Down among the dancing quanta  Everything exists at once  Up above in Transverse City  Every weekend lasts for months  Here's the hum of desperation  Heres the test tube mating call  Here's the latest carbon cycle  Here's the clergy of the mall  Here's the witness and the victim  Here's the relatives' remains  Here's the well-known double helix  Here's the poisoned waves of grain  Here's the song of shear and torsion  Here's the bloodbath magazine  Here's the harvest of contusions  Here's the narcoleptic dream  Here's the hum of desperation
