peter garrett - permaglow lyrics

[verse 1]
if you’re alone, must be the hardest of things
with only four walls to hold you in
alone, n0body sticking like glue
tending your light, tending to you
no one to laugh at your jokes, be scared of your ghosts
pick you up when you’re broken, speak the unspoken
listen at night when your dream’s running riot
and the ways of the world make you wonder

[chorus]
the screen is permaglow, no fireflies bothering
the door is always closed, no one is hovering

[verse 2]
now we’re slaves to the system, a machine that won’t slow
issued a number, ready to roll
camera’s all+seeing, there’s no sense in believing
george orwell was right, we had to wait a bit longer
till the lasso was stronger
now it’s filament fine like a clare valley wine
you can’t see it, but it’s tougher than a piece of fence wire
the line between a full life and terminal decline
is filled out by the passengers, we’re just marking time

[chorus]
it’s said no one’s an island, nor it’s meant to be
staring at the night sky, what’s become of me?
the screen is permaglow, no fireflies hovering
the door is always closed, no one is bothering
oh no, oh no
[post+chorus]
yeah

[bridge]
the god of the schoolyard, shut out by the noise
last rites and the feasting, men acting like boys
tossed around by a whirlpool of envy and rage
is this how h0m+ sapiens remember their days?
remember, remember
remember

[chorus]
it’s said no one’s an island, nor it’s meant to be
staring at the night sky, what’s become of me? oh yeah
the screen is permaglow, no fireflies hovering
the door is always closed, no one is bothering
oh no, no, no, no, no, no

[outro]
