Eric Knight Holbrook - Walls Painted Blue Lyrics

Your clothes are getting washed in the washing machine
You're eating your dinner by the holographic screen
And you're reading your book under ultra violet light
But in the back of your mind you know something's not quite right

There's music on the radio and some paintings on the wall
Sunlight through the window casting shadows down the hall
There 's papers on the desk in front of you to sign away
But something deep inside your mind says, "hold for another day"

The walls are cold to touch by hand so you needn't ever try
Looking through a window shade that's there to hide the sky
Everything seems the same today as it did the day before
You wonder what is left to do as you pace across the floor

Sunlight through the window makes the room a golden brown
Watching all the people live their life without a frown
You wonder what the World was like before they made it right
You wonder what it's like to see the real stars every night

You stare upon the computer screen that feeds you all day long
Hours pass into the days but you know that something's wrong
Sitting by the window watching all the clouds roll by
The TV's making news reports and you start to wonder why:

Teleportation brings you down to the street
Magnetic shoes you've gotta wear on your feet
Special sunglasses that allow your eyes to see
Aluminum tanks allow your lungs to breath

Holographic scenery rolls by on each side
You're in a little box that's only 3 meters wide
You know it's all fake but there's nothing you can do
Because you're living inside a little science fiction zoo

Walls are painted blue with a green horizon
Clouds are drawn in with the sunlight rising
Trees are built of plastic to complete the illusion
Chemicals are added to keep you in confusion
