The Signal

There's a sound so painful It's recorded on a phone Knew a boy who heard it once Said it screamed into his soul In a combination of little words the devil had arranged That'll burn out all your light I don't forget It took the brightness out the colors of my wife As dark as the night It took the jumping out the welcome of my dog And lately I'm hazy The internet thinks I'm crazy 'Cos my bath's hot tap got running cold When the signal left the earth When the satellites alarmed The cosmonauts lost faith They're denouncing all their gods And the frequency will travel to the corners for ever more On the velvet of the void I don't forget It took the brightness out the colors of my wife As dark as the night It took the wonder out my daughter's little eyes And lately I'm hazy The internet thinks I'm crazy 'Cos my bath's hot tap got running cold Who is happy Who is happy now I don't forget It took the brightness out the colors of my wife As dark as the night It took the jumping out the welcome of my dog It took the wonder out my daughter's little eyes As dark as the night It took the passion out the calling of my life
