Lyrics

The choir of robots sing at a digital funeral
Just like the earth before
I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful
But you just said, "Fuck it"
Caught up in the flow 'cause life has gone electrical
I'm standing toe to toe with something else
And in a parallel universe
You'd be me and I'd be machine
You'd have to turn me on to turn me on
Tell me, how am I supposed to know
Where computer ends and you begin
When you just said hello to me?
The choir of robots sing at a digital funeral
Just like the earth before
I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful
But you just said, "Fuck it"
Dust clouds in the air
Because they're knocking down the place
Where you lived in 1996
Now it's all just little squares
A pixelated paradise
But I'm like Play-Doh, you're like LEGO bricks
Yeah, I'd like to go back there
But all I see is ones and oh's
Am I supposed to feel like this?
The choir of robots sing at a digital funeral
Just like the earth before
I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful
Am I supposed to feel like this?
I didn't ask to be upgraded
Never thought I needed it that much
Lost in this modern world
A colour brighter than the screen
An electronic girl that I can't touch
The choir of robots sing at a digital funeral
Just like the earth before
I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful
But you just said, "Fuck it"
The choir of robots sing at a digital funeral
Just like the earth before
I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful
But you just said, "Fuck it"
