"Radar & Leda" lyrics

Radar met Leda on a freight elevator
He made a joke about the Fatal Attraction
Even though she didn't seem to recognize the reference
Later on they made a little connection
She lost track of her friends at some party in a warehouse
So she's happy someone's paying attention

She could tell that Radar had seen a bit of action
The way kept his eyes on the entrance
She'd been with some guys that had a similar feature
Defensive switching quick to aggression
Radar says he's only trying to figure out the future
And the trick is in the early detection

She used to work in a shop
But one day she just stopped
Showing up for the opening

Spent the last couple years
With the lingering fear and
Making deals with her dopamine

Radar and Leda
Sharing new information
Telling each other everything

Back at his place and Leda opens the fridge
It's just some mustard and a two pack of Blatz
Botanica candles on the floor by the mattress
Which is really just a gymnastics mat
He said he falls out of bed with hard dreams in his head
All flash bang and birdsong and skittering insects
And this one kind of sadness that keeps veering into violence
The feeling when you steer into the skid

Because pleasure's a rental
But pains residential and
Every garden gets overgrown

Spent the last couple weeks
Too suspicious to sleep
And terrified of the telephone

Radar and Leda
Staying up even later
Telling each other everything

And every tangle can come undone
But in the end we're all on our own
It's hard to hold out hope that your call's gonna come
When you're terrified of the telephone

She used to work in a shop
But one day she just stopped
Now she mostly just hangs at home

Because pleasure's a rental
And the terms aren't so simple
Any vessel can overflow

She used to work in some store
But it's not there anymore
There's nothing new where it used to be

Radar and Leda
Trading their medications
Telling each other everything
Telling each other everything
Telling each other everything
