[Lyric] Wow and Flutter (Stereolab)

[Verse 1]
I didn't question, I didn't know
As far as I'd seen, life was endless
When I realised I had to let go
We are mere mortals as to the rest

[Chorus 1]
It's not eternal, imperishable
While on the move
It's not eternal, interminable
Progress is the clue

[Verse 2]
I thought IBM was born with the world
The US flag would float forever
The cold opponent did pack away
The capital will have to follow

[Chorus 2]
It's not eternal, imperishable
Oh, yes, it will go
It's not eternal, interminable
The dinosaur law
[Chorus 2]
It's not eternal, imperishable
Oh, yes, it will go
It's not eternal, interminable
The dinosaur law

[Bridge]
Look at the symbols, they are alive
They move, evolve, and then they die
