Lyrics by James Mercer

LYRICS
Now how will it turn out
If the starling meets a waiting owl
On the way to that dead hotel?
Your silent empty life
Falling into the pretty hands
All of them androids have
One day’s flight
Will take you back in time
To when it wasn’t such a
Brand across your breast
Strain upon your back
When a good life was enough
Would it be so wrong
If Danny needs you up in his place?
Can your batteries replace this heart?
Lying in the yard
Wanting it to be natural lover
A son for a mother
But dreams flood up
From fissures in the floor
Adding new dimension
Leaving only parts to play
Needs are forming again
A good life will just never be enough
Dreams flood up
From fissures in the floor
Adding new dimension
Leaving only parts to play
Needs are forming again
A good life will never be enough
A good life will never be enough
A good life will never be enough
