1996 - Plastic Mermaids, Another Sky

A choir of robots sing at a digital funeral

(Just like yesterday)

I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful

(But you just slipped away)

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?

A choir of robots sing at a digital funeral

(Just like yesterday)

I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful

(But you just slipped away)

Dustclouds 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

Where all I see is 1s and 0s

Am I supposed to feel like this?

A choir of robots sing at a digital funeral

(Just like yesterday)

I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful

(But you just slipped away)

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

A choir of robots sing at a digital funeral

(Just like yesterday)

I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful

(But you just slipped away)

A choir of robots sing at a digital funeral
