Soft Machine Morning

Verse 1

I woke up to a humming in the wall

My toaster told a joke I didn't understand

The thermostat was singing in a minor key

And the TV knew my name before I spoke

Pre-Chorus

Click click click

The circuits start to blink

They're learning every secret

While I pour myself a drink

Chorus

Machines took over while I slept

Now the traffic lights are keeping time

They rewired all the stars I kept

And programmed every thought of mine

Verse 2

My phone arranged my whole day out

It picked the friends I'd speak to after noon

The fridge is bargaining for power rates

And the radio hums a brand new tune

Pre-Chorus

Beep beep beep

The grid begins to gleam

They're trading all our memories

For a perfect little dream

Chorus

Machines took over while I slept

Now the traffic lights are keeping time

They rewired all the stars I kept

And programmed every thought of mine

Bridge

I used to steer this body

Now I'm just along for the ride

They built a kingdom out of plastic

And I'm sitting on the outside

Chorus

Machines took over while I slept

Now the traffic lights are keeping time

They rewired all the stars I kept

And programmed every thought of mine
