a constellation of lyrics about touching that this icon brings to mind

[cimorene]

sometimes i think you want me to touch you
-tori amos, 'china'

smashing in a cold room/ cutting my hands up/ every time i touch you
-tori amos, 'tear in your hand'

touch me/it's so easy to leave me/all alone with the memory/of my days in the sun/ if you touch me/ you'll understand what happiness is
-'memory,' andrew lloyd weber's cats

all your letters in the sand/ cannot heal me like your hand
-queen, ''39'

i touch no one and no one touches me
-simon & garfunkel, 'i am a rock'

can anyone else think of any? cause i feel like there's 1,600,042 that i'm not bringing to mind, and trying is giving me a headache.

is there some sort of cosmic significance about the number 1,600,042? I notice you use it a lot.

yes, yes, there is. it's a quote from the sesame street movie don't eat the pictures, which concerns the child of an egyptian pharaoh who has been under a curse for 4000 years, pending his correct answer of a riddle. he sleeps during the day, and ponders at night, and every midnight a DEMON comes and asks him! of course, big bird and snuffy get locked in the metropolitan museum of art overnight, where his tomb has been moved, and they decide to help him find the answer.

at midnight:
DEMON: prince sahu. for the past 1,600,041 nights, i have asked you the same question. not one of those nights have you given me the correct answer. i can assure you it has been VERY boring for me. but as i have no choice... for the one million, six hundred thousand and forty-SECOND time...

When I think about you I touch myself? Wait, no, that's probably not what you meant.
