For the verses, intro, bridge 1 and outro,
the slides are only just very quickly going
from 4 to 5, 2 to 3 or 7 to 8 for a bit of
extra effect.

- lyrics -

Red wire - right temple
Black wire - left temple

(x4)

There are times I think eternal life ain’t
such a bad gig
Smoke all you want, and see the planets
If and only if they find a way to cure
the longing
The distant panic

Someday, i’m telling you
They’ll make a memory machine
To wax our hearts to a blinding sheen
To wash away the grief

(x2)

There are folks that think to have a soul
you gotta suffer
Well lately i’ve had my RDA of that
And call it fascist but I know that someday
happy
Will be all that matters

Someday, i’m telling you
They’ll make a memory machine
To wax our hearts to a blinding sheen
To wash away the grief

(x2)

Poetry, Aldous Huxley, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it’ll be a relief

If they can make machines to save us labor
Someday they’ll do our hearts the very same
favor
The wails of ruined lives brought to a halt
by
The serene hum of computers in
air-conditioned vaults, yeah

Red wire - right temple
Black wire - left temple

(x4)
