Plastic Mermaids - 1996 Lyrics

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
Caught up in the flow
Cos 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 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
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 playdough you're like Lego bricks.
Yeah, I'd like to go back there but all I see is 1's and O's
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
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)
