lyrics

I was dreaming alone like a dog with a bone
God gave me a thumb to get me into the zone
He said the sicker the bliss is the sweeter the ice cream cone

When there's a million flavours in the star of my hand
and all the people are small and the piano is grand
I sing I'm only a thing and I don't have a plan

In my eyes I get so lost in the lightning
that the beat of my heart was as cheap
as my art upon the market

Shooting for the moon I hit a space station
plantation slaving for the nation of an ether a provider
on the side I had the fries and the nacho dip
tryin to get to heaven on a microchip

It's Love in the time of robots - we're wired
It's Love in the time of robots - we're wired

California ain't what it used to be
everyone's looking down at a very black screen
California where'd your water go?
You took it from the ground -
Gonna have a new dust bowl
California, what are you trying to prove?
To be the exception that only proves the rule?
California, it's a golden state of mind
While the Devil plays you, the blind lead the blind

It's Love in the time of robots - we're wired
It's Love in the time of robots - we're wired
