21st Century Heartbeat

Blue, blue morning in a satellite town

On the radio they're talking about

A civil war and a missing child

I've got my coffee and I'm running out

I dial your number and I let it ring

There's just no answer to anything

I woke up hollow as an apple core

I got so much purpose

I don't know what for

I've got a twenty first century heartbeat

It's a dying voice

It still haunts me

Twenty first century heartbeat holding on

Blue grey morning in a satellite town

I've got my head securely in the cloud

I'm not myself and I don't know what's changed

You're so familiar but it's oh so strange

I've got a twenty first century heartbeat

It's a dying voice

It still haunts me

Twenty first century heartbeat holding on

I see a figure

In the mirror

That I just don't recognize

All I know I was sleeping

While believing there was life on the other side

There's a melody fading

While I'm waiting

But I dare open up my eyes

My eyes

I've got a twenty first century heartbeat

It's a dying voice

It still haunts me

Twenty first century heartbeat holding on

Twenty first century heartbeat

I can't help it

It all haunts me

Twenty first century heartbeat holding on
