Lyrics

v1
sally went searching for someone to share
love on the airwaves with a mouse and a prayer
she wanted a knight she yearned for a teacher
spoke love through his fingers though his touch couldn't reach her
and when her old man with his socks and his snores
would drift off to slip she'd slip past the door
Chorus
she'd slip down the thread of a copper wire rope
meet in the darkness she'd message him hope
they'd talk about children that never complain
he'd have a great job and an internet name
v2
where men with short fuses burn out on a screen
where life keeps its distance like a cottony dream
where firewalls can settle a fight without screams
where scars and horizons can never be seen
in a world without laundry where dishes don't break
and grown-ups play dress-up and stay out way too late
Chorus
she'd slip down the thread of a copper wire rope
meet in the darkness she'd message him hope
they'd talk about children that never complain
he'd have a great job and an internet name
Bridge
and when her prince charming should ask them to meet
she'd press her escape with control/alt/delete
Chorus
she'd slip down the thread of a copper wire rope
meet in the darkness she'd message him hope
they'd talk about children that never complain
he'd have a great job and an internet name
