Messages of Dark

Robyn Hitchcock · Invisible Hitchcock [1986]

Well, your number's changed and your hair's cut short

And your house is painted white

Gave me a fright



And your line's engaged 'cause you talk too much

The way you always do

When I'm talking to you



But you haven't changed like your number has

You've been all round the world

You're a rich little girl



There you are like a spider in the corner

Vibrating messages of dark

Vibrating messages of dark



Pornography reassures a man

Fills him with delight

So he's alright



But the men upstairs with their fitted hoods

And the streetlamp lights them up

They're stitching you up



There you are like a spider in the corner

Vibrating messages of dark
