Reciprocity Nexus

Lyrics

Companions

We used to be oh so very cavalier
Swinging in fishnets from the chandeliers
But nowadays love seems to have disappeared
Paradoxically far away
Yet so near

We sit on the settee
Sip cups of tea
We don’t do anything but
Watch TV on repeat

You can call it lazy
Here’s just you and me
In recovery
Of life
So it seems

Now we’re companions
Compadres and soul mates
There’s only love here
There’s never any hate
Whatever happened to us along the way?
To get lost
Can we find our way back again?

We used to be at it almost every night
Me in my birthday suit; you in your tights
But nowadays no, no
No appetite
You squeeze my hand and turn off the light

You sit and you knit
I watch the clock tick
How I wish
For just one tiny kiss on the lips

But there is no chance
You don’t want romance
The only thing you wish for is
Companionship

Now we’re companions
Compadres and soul mates
There’s only love here
There’s never any hate
Whatever happened to us along the way?
To get lost
Can we find our way back again?

We live in conducive silence
Are sure
We love and understand each other
Once more
Make out we’re not bothered
By the elephant in the room
The unspoken truth

Now we’re companions
Compadres and soul mates
There’s only love here
There’s never any hate
Whatever happened to us along the way?
To get lost
Can we find our way back again?

Companions!
‘Til death us do part…

Companions!
‘Til death us do part…

Companions!
‘Til death us do part…

Companions!
A little death has passed…
