Before the Breakthrough Lyrics by The Mutton Birds

Box Of Birds

0

The lady who reads the news
Turned to face the camera
She said "Here's an item that’s just come to hand"

I waited for her to speak
But she just sat and smiled
And stared at me as if I'd understand

I found the remote control
It was underneath the sofa
I wanted to know if anything else had changed
The programs were no different
Except that no one's lips were moving
And every single channel was the same

We used to talk
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough

I should have known this would happen
That one day they’d find a method
I needed to run to someone and have them hold me
Michele brought in some coffee
But I was too messed up to drink it
You'd think that someone somewhere would have told me

I haven't been keeping up
I guess I missed the bulletin
You'd think that somewhere I'd have heard the warning

I'll go to bed, I might as well
And I'll lie next to Michele
And I'll pray that she will greet me in the morning

I haven’t been keeping up
I guess I missed the bulletin
You’d think that somewhere I'd have heard the warning

I’ll go to bed, I might as well
And I'll lie next to Michele
And I'll pray that she will greet me in the morning

We used to talk
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
Before the breakthrough
