The Dismemberment Plan - "The Face Of The Earth" (Parae Remix)

As kisses go

It wasn't anything out of the ordinary

The alkaline lips

The fingers hooked around my belt

She had to go

She took a step back in and then she started to smile

I heard a funny sound

Then everything seemed to shift, yeah

A crazy wail

A funny shutter of a bad magnetic event

A ghost ran through us

Moving like a shadow of a cloud

And I wasn't sure

I thought that something happened but I didn't know what

The moment seemed to fade

And I turned my eyes back to her

That's when I saw

I freeze the look of pre-alert and study it still

Her smile starts to loosen

Her pupils yawn wide and then she's blown

From the face of the earth

There wasn't any wind

No noise, no nothing

Just a body jerked skyward

Limbs flailing like an unloved marionette

At impossible speed

Receding away like a faraway dot

I can see her still

Scream for help but no one answered

She turned end on end

Moving like a long-lost astronaut

I felt the summer air reclaim me

The chirp of a bird, the whisper of leaves

And I was frozen

To the face of the earth

I never really knew the way she lived her life

I tried a couple numbers but they never called back

I didn't know her family or friends at all

With no one to call, summer turned into fall

I gave up

It's been a couple years

And I guess I'm fine about it

It's not like we were married

It was three or four months

And nothing's really different

Though it seems like I've spent my life in planes

Which is kind of strange

But I don't know

I don't know, no

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
