Radiant City

Modern planning
Romantic and prophetic
Cities do not invent the skyscraper
But inspire it in a moment of time
Post-war vision and frigid suburbs
Eastern bloc high-rises and zoned congestion
Sweeping super-blocks of concrete
Amid the now monotony of culture
An appropriate triumph of human powers
(Walk into the radiant city and be alive)
A reaction against open spaces
Enthusiasts replace control
(Walk into the radiant city and be alive)
Within the city
Cities appear gigantic
Towering
Walk into the radiant city and be alive
Walk into the radiant city and be alive
Walk into the radiant city and be alive
Walk into the radiant city and be alive

Beneath the sunrise
It's so easy to believe
Through all these long years
And a hundred thousand tears
How long can you talk
To yourself in the dark
Without answering
Without running to the light
Pulling myself inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Pulling ourselves inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Pulling myself inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Pulling ourselves inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Desolate boulevards
I want to see you there
Surveillance is not your friend
It's lonely here
Focus your attention
On all the fresh horizons
Shadows of suspicion
And all the blank screens
History stacks in layers
Ciphers to escape from
We are in the static
We are invisible
We are lost in slumber
Impossible to wake
Soon to be buried
In a digital grave
Pulling myself inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Pulling ourselves inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Pulling myself inwards
The 21st century's backwards
Pulling ourselves inwards
The 21st century's backwards

If My Computer...

If my computer had a mouth
I would kiss it with my own
If my computer had a nipple
I would suckle it with my lips
If my computer had a majestic wall
I would run my fingers inside
If my computer had a finger
I would wed it with a ring of wire
If my computer had a womb
I would father it babies of data
If my computer didn't need electricity
I would bury it with me and live eternal
