Frightened Rabbit
Off
We’ll have no telephones hereJust a gentle mouth to a smitten earNo technology hereSuch heady chemistry can’t be engineeredWe’ll use no binary codeNo pixilated template to contain us bothIgnore the scurrying roadsWe’ll stay right here and want for nothing moreAnd as the earth eats itself, swallows us wholeWe will set out ourselves and switch everything offNo machinery hereNo chain smoking factories with their monotone sneerThere’s no technology hereNo damning indictments or digital sinSo can’t we both disappear?Run away and play dead like I did last yearWe’ll need nobody else at allSheltered and happy in our candlelit holeAs the earth eats itself, swallows us wholeWe can lie here hidden, pull the wires from the wallAs the earth eats itself, swallows us wholeWe will set out ourselves and switch everything off
