Jonathan Coulton - Solid State lyrics

[Verse 1] Used to be the stars were too far away Used to be the world didn't have much to say Coming in close and talking at the same time Small mistake, terrible crime [Chorus 1] Using up the air Trying to set yourself on fire Everybody there Pushing into one thin wire But it's better than solid state [Verse 2] Never look small, but don't get too large You gotta let go or you won't stay in charge Everything's fine, but nothing's really okay It's all messed up, it's better that way [Chorus 2] Everyone you know Crooked little numbers game Where you gonna go Everywhere is all the same But it's better than solid state [Bridge] Watch them rise and fall one after another Don't forget to follow through Human after all, take care of each other Who it hurts and how it ends How far it goes, it all depends on you [Verse 3] Used to be the world was too far away Used to be the stars didn't have much to say All this time, and everybody's still sad We still got whatever we had [Chorus 3] Every grain of sand Rubbing up against your skin Everything in plan Singing as the tide comes in But it's better than solid state
