Smog and Wire

Lyrics — D. Sifter, Music — A. Ganges, T. Low, D. Sifter
From the album Socrates Kicks Ass! recorded by The Featherless Bipeds

I’m half future, I’m half past

I’m as flexible as fibreglass

That’s me

My Dad was Thought and Mom was Love

So how did I get to be so messed up

Tell me

You’re never too up, never too down

You’re halfway between a smile and a frown

That’s you

You rise up like evaporation

But you come down again like precipitation

That’s you

We walk along staring at the hydro wires

With the smog in the sky choking out our desires

That’s you and me

I’m a little bit soft, a little bit tough,

But I never seem to be either one enough

That’s me

I’m on the outside looking in

It’s me who loses when the other guy wins

That’s me

You’re numb to the truth, heard too many lies

Can you feel me, are you desensitized?

That’s you

Every moment of the day I think about you

But I can never find a way to get through

What do I do?

But above that smog is a blue blue sky

d there’s energy inside those wires

That’s you and me
