Pop paranoia. We'd call it "quirky" if it wasn't for the fact that we HATE the word "quirky". This song is based on a dream I actually had one night which contributed the siren to our "Teenage Folklore" menagerie.

lyrics

I have a pair of one-way tickets in my hand
good for a red eye flight
anywhere but just tonight
I'm coming with you but you have to understand
that if you're so inclined
you leave everything behind

no time for gathering up your personal effects
no time to hug or kiss
anybody you will miss
you've seen into my eyes and know what to expect
if you're to share my mind
you leave everything behind

call me a siren if you like
but I won't lead you into anything
as dramatic as your doom
call me a temptress if you like
call me whore call me slut
call me bitch call me yours

another room that seems magnificent and strange
another door that locks
after the initial shock
another life that leaves you hungry for a change
another chance to find
you don't leave a thing behind
