Noah Gundersen - Magic Trick lyrics
[Noah Gundersen - Magic Trick lyrics]
Soft static on the TV screen
Young people on the livestream
I Facetimed a friend of mine
He suggested to me
That watching people watch people is the
Future of our collective dream
And so I went to sleep
Nothing's ever gonna be the same
It's all quiet on the chain gang
What's the point in a picket sign when
You've got no one to blame?
You tried building the Tower of Babel
But you forgot your name so you wеnt insane
I don't have to tell you
It's impossiblе to miss
Like slowing down the motions
Of a magic trick
All the little people playing
All their little games
How could you look away?
You used to walk to the corner store
Now it's something you would die for
You signed on for a sign of life
And breathed a sigh of relief
The whole world was online
Watching an endless feed
And you can never leave
I don't have to tell you
It's impossible to miss
Like slowing down the motions
Of a magic trick
All the little people playing
All their little games
How could you look away?
Young people on the livestream
I Facetimed a friend of mine
He suggested to me
That watching people watch people is the
Future of our collective dream
And so I went to sleep
Nothing's ever gonna be the same
It's all quiet on the chain gang
What's the point in a picket sign when
You've got no one to blame?
You tried building the Tower of Babel
But you forgot your name so you wеnt insane
I don't have to tell you
It's impossiblе to miss
Like slowing down the motions
Of a magic trick
All the little people playing
All their little games
How could you look away?
You used to walk to the corner store
Now it's something you would die for
You signed on for a sign of life
And breathed a sigh of relief
The whole world was online
Watching an endless feed
And you can never leave
I don't have to tell you
It's impossible to miss
Like slowing down the motions
Of a magic trick
All the little people playing
All their little games
How could you look away?
