Telekon lyrics

And what if God's dead
We must have done something wrong
This dark facade ends
We're independent from someone

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you, meet you
Soon

We write suggestions
Suggesting fading to silence
And that must please you
My mirror's tarnished with 'no-help'

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice

Hello, I'm the aircrash bureau
I bet you're so surprised to see me
I could specialise in rumours
I'll send shivers up your spine

Pilot, back, I need my squadron
I was flying before D-day
Now I'm warning you of falling
I'll tell you when you're going down

Sometimes I get these questions
It reminds me of the skin game
We used to stand around on corners
Saying 'well here we are again'

Where is my outline I start to fade
No concentration means 'fail' these days

I leave the table saying 'I am real'
I feel the pressure like your eyes on me
Don't mention that name and books on love
I can't be sure, I can't be sure

You end on reel one
You end on reel one

You quote from 'anxious' and things we do
I need protection from the likes of you

Do you begin to see that I don't know

We'll take a taxi to the show
We could report by phone
We could remind ourselves that
We must laugh

Reconsider: 'fame'
I need new reasons
This is detention it's not fun at all

Remind me to smile
You know, 'the old friends' line
It gets so I feel like
I'm in this cold, glass, cage

I've got the horrors
Check, over my shoulder
I punch the air and fight but
No-one's there

You you - Oh no

You can cry by my window
You can crawl on the floor
You can scream if you want to
But I won't unlock the door

You can sleep in bus shelters
You can sleep in the park
But I'll rip up the trees
Until you tear yourself apart

But I don't love you
No I don't love you
Do you dream?

Back to surveillance
Open eyes and wash out 'tear'
A sign that says 'no exit'
And 'no-one can save you here'

We are young we can break
Watch us fall
We can take some train
Down to the sea
We are glass, we are glass
We are real you can touch
Just for now
And then say
'Hey you, which way is down'
We are glass, we are glass

We are strong we run though
We have time
And to you I'm just
One of those boys
We are glass, we are glass
We are cold
We're not supposed to cry
But it's all just a thought

Send in eyes
Thought's of crashing, all those pictures
Send in thoughts of John the God

Send in dreams
Lovers on corners, clean my sheets
Your only chance is break the state

We are clean
Don't ask, I'm an agent

Send in change
Secretaries, nothing more
You can be replaced you know

Send in chance
Bad conditions, talk of leaving
Talk of walking out on me

Send in you
Send in pain, send in lies

I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best, I worked them all

New ways, New ways
I dream of wires

We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing 'O'
We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show

New ways, New ways
I dream of wires

So I press 'C' for comfort
I dream of wires, the old days

There's nothing here but us
There's nothing here but us

Remember, I was vapour
Remember, I was just like you
Remember, I was liquid
Remember, I was someone too

Remember, I need others
Remember, I need oxygen
Remember, I need lovers
Remember, I need to forget

Chorus

Remember, I am human
Remember, I feel just like you
Remember, I had reasons
Remember, I had friends like you

Now I'm behind glass
I'll talk to you
The telephone lines blind
You have defaced my face
I bet you laughed at me
You bright young things
And now I need no-one
I miss you, so

Please push no more
Please push no more

Now it's all over for sure
I'll walk back home
We must all come down
We all grow old
We are close, we are hurt
So that was love
And love she kills me
It needs to, so

Send in the guards
We are all new faces
I'm so sorry
But my reasons are wrong
My reasons are wrong

We are on joy circuit
The image fix
Rewind, cry
Well it's somewhere to go
Well it's somewhere to go

Tell me of your pain
Love it, love it
Show me the new way
Love it, love it
It's so unusual
But all I find is a reason to die
A reason to die

Here we play games
Like turning men into boys
And everyone must cry or love

Recall 'My circuit'
Recall 'I'm not-you are'
Remember that I moved too soon

Corridor empty
Time to call in the stage
A game called echo

Now I ask questions
I get so nervous of
A game called echo

We rename vehicles
You rename heroes
I switch to auto

You are reception
I can take it or leave

This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view
In Echo Park, I
Pause for effect and whisper 'who are you?'

They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: You die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: You die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

Now I have your names
Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late'
Now I feel young

Down in the park
Where the Machmen meet
The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called `Five'

I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there

Come to Zom-Zom's , a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Try to run

Oh, look, there's a rape machine

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And S.U.s
And things that I just don't understand

Here we play games
Like turning men into boys
And everyone must cry or love

Recall 'My circuit'
Recall 'I'm not-you are'
Remember that I moved too soon

Corridor empty
Time to call in the stage
A game called echo

Now I ask questions
I get so nervous of
A game called echo

We rename vehicles
You rename heroes
I switch to auto

You are reception
I can take it or leave
