Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Religious iconography giving you the creeps
I feel rougher than a disco lizard tongue along your cheek
The rise of the machines
I must admit you gave me something momentarily
In which I could believe
[Verse 2]
But the hand of harsh reality's ungloved
And it's on it's way back here to scoop you up
But not on my watch
I wanna stay with you, my love
The way that some science fiction does
[Verse 3]
Reflections in the silver screen of strange societies
Swamp monster with a hard on for connectivity
The ascension of the cream
Mass panic on a not-too-distant future colony
Quantitative easing
[Verse 4]
I wanna make a simple point about peace and love
But in a sexy way where it's not obvious
Highlight dangers and send out hidden messages
The way some science fiction does
The way some science fiction does
[Verse 5]
Got the world on a wire
In my little mirror, mirror on the wall
In the pocket of my raincoat
[Verse 6]
So I tried to write a song to make you blush
But I've a feeling that the whole thing may well just
End up too clever for it's own good
The way some science fiction does
