Automaton drone You're lost with no phone And the home you made your own Can never be paid for The great in the small, the rise and the fall And you come back for more The need to belong And the will to do no wrong The ones that you lost, abandoned or crossed Will haunt you Plagued by poor health But you stockpile more wealth Congratulate yourself A sense of proportion, an act of extortion There's too much distortion You sink in stages As you're approaching middle ages You're up to here in debt Insidious tech, you're up to your neck Why don't you give it a rest? A train set, a cold war threat A prison A poison nest, a chrome cassette Division The blue and white, a power strike A girl you like The daylight fades, you feel your way Daguerreotype A train set, a cold war threat A prison A poison nest, a chrome cassette Division The blue and white, a power strike A girl you like The daylight fades, you feel your way Daguerreotype Ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh The power of nature And the oppression of strangers The consequence of dread (Ah-ah-ah-ah) A barbarous brain, a dominant strain (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) You'll never win this game It seems I'm miles above the surface of the earth I can see across the whole of London and beyond Ships and thunderstorms at sea and beyond A trillion stars in a billion galaxies I gaze out across the millennia it took the lights from these stars to reach the earth I close my eyes And breathe I came here searching for something But I don't remember what that thing is anymore Did I dream you? Or are you dreaming me now? As your waking thoughts gradually take over As all dreams are ultimately forgotten And lost
