lyrics

Didn't they tell you when they locked the doors
Didn't you notice when they swept the floor
They left you here and never said goodnight

Didn't they tell you it was time to drink
Didn't they tell you it was time to dream
Under flickering fluorescent REM

What kind of mechanic wouldn't hear the clamor?
go on and scream like you're not going to listen for an answer
but we've got to grow in this quickening clime
I'm afraid I'll hit the sky

Blue screen is a
slow death
Blue screen is a
slow death

Your friends have all given up and quit
But you burn down to your last filament
Though not as bright as you once had been

Your connections have begun to fray
But you still haven't become afraid
Of falling prey to the incessant din

What kind of mechanic wouldn't hear the clamor?
go on and scream like you're not going to listen for an answer
but we've got to grow in this quickening clime
I'm afraid I'll hit the sky

Blue screen is a
slow death
Blue screen is a
slow death
