Mutton Birds - Before the breakthrough
The lady who reads the news
Turned to face the camera,
Said, "Heres an item that's just come to hand".
I waited for her to speak,
But she just sat smiled,
And stared at me as if I'd understand.
I found the remote control,
It was underneath the sofa.
I wanted to know if anything else had changed.
The programs were no different,
Except that no-one's lips were moving.
And every single channel was the same.
We used to talk
Before the Breakthrough.
Before the Breakthrough.
Before the Breakthrough.
I should have know that it would happen,
That some day they'd find a method.
I needed to run to someone and have them hold me.
Michelle brought in some coffee,
I was too messed up to drink it.
You'd think that someone somewhere would have told me.
I haven't been keeping up,
I guess I've missed the bulletin.
Thou think that somewhere I'd have heard the warning.
I'll go to bed I might as well.
And I'll lie next to Michelle.
And I'll pray that she will greet me in the morning.
We used to talk
Before the Breakthrough.
Before the Breakthrough.
Before the Breakthrough.
