1996 Lyrics by Plastic Mermaids

Suddenly Everyone Explodes

2018

[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
(Just like yesterday)
I almost tried to tell you I thought you were beautiful
(But you just slipped away)
