lyrics

I watched the conversation launch and crash
Like an amputee suspended on a wire
And I’d never seen somebody move so fast
Dancing over coal rocks in the fire

Reveal the gender with an atom bomb
Overcast with frequent baby showers
And the pop queen sits there with a voodoo doll
Twisting teenage limbs to pass away the hours

Oh no, how so?
You dropped your phone on your face,
Go tell the world,
I put your nose out of place,
Refresh, confess,
To all your crimes inside a virtual experiment.

I watched you leave the party for that TV show,
Don’t you worry, no one noticed you were missing,
Did you catch the tragic final episode?
Some poor amputee had fallen from a wire.

Oh no, how so?
You dropped your phone on your face,
Go tell the world,
I put your nose out of place,
Refresh, accept,
You’re just a puppet in some cosmic circus rodeo,
Now listen to them scream in stereo.
