Off Lyrics

We'll have no telephones here
Just a gentle mouth to a smitten ear
No technology here
Such heady chemistry can't be engineered
We'll use no binary code
No pixellate template to contain us both
Ignore the scurrying roads
We will stay right here and want for nothing more
And as the earth eats itself
Swallows us whole
We will sever ourselves
Switch everything off
No machinery here
No chain-smoking factories with their monotone sneer
No technology here
No d***ing indictments or digital sin
So can't we both disappear?
Run away and play dead like I did last year
We'll need nobody else at all
Sheltered and happy in our candlelit home
And as the earth eats itself
Swallows us whole
We can lie here hidden
Pull the wires from the wall
And as the earth eats itself
Swallows us whole
We will sever ourselves
Switch everything off
