lyrics

Judy, my love
Our world's contained in Riverside Park
And in this car
Beneath this humid, steamy sky
The moon condenses into
Iridescent crescents
On the surface of the muddy river
We are alone when midnight comes

From hand to hand, to skin to skin
Your lips are parted, pour me in
I'm burning for you more
Than any other boy could ever
What divine design could shoot this down?
The last two dreamers in this dead river town
Could be so perfect if we could collide
You know you want this night

Down by the banks we see the unearthly figure rise
Seven foot tall, his matted hair blots out the night
We try to dress ourselves, still trembling at the scene
The creature lets his moan go drowning in the reeds
We were too young to know what we were supposed to do
We did whatever our poor bodies told us to
We left the beast out there still shaking in the sand
And thirty years from now we still won't understand

Judy, you're gone
I never saw you after summer
That thing that found us
I'm sure it's out there somewhere
