[Lyric] The Escalator Song (The Negatones)

[Verse 1]
Riding up the escalator
Thought you were done but you forgot to pull the fader beeping like a satellite
Surface radiation ticking orbit vacuum night
Off and on the generator tells you when the time has come to put it off til later dreaming in black and white
Surface radiation ticking orbit vacuum night

[Chorus]
"All we want are the numbers"
I came into some wisdom but the price I had to pay was keeping up with the equations
In a perfect world, you can run glass gears forever

[Verse 2]
All in bits and pieces
Like all that happens in the world just makes for deeper folds and creases dreaming in black and white
Lower resolution bit impacted on the Y
Off and on the generator
Dealing with the azimuth and key attenuators beeping like a satellite
Surface radiation ticking orbit vacuum night

[Chorus]
"All we want are the numbers"
I came into some wisdom but the price I had to pay was keeping up with the equations
In a perfect world, you can run glass gears
"All we want are the numbers"
I came into some wisdom but the price I had to pay was keeping up with the equations
In a perfect world, you can run glass gears forever
[Verse 3]
Its connected coordinates
You walk that line
And you can depend on it throughout space and time
