lyrics

When you came
None of us could see it coming
It felt the same
Nothing felt strange

But you cast
You cast a spell on everyone
It happened fast
Then everything changed

Now we carry you around
In the air and on the ground
And all our sights and sounds
Come from you

We check you every second
Your little beeping beckons
You rule us all I reckon
I can’t recall life before you

You’re the king
None of us could predict
You’re everything
Without you we feel so sick

(spoken interlude...)


(c) M. Skliar 2018

This song was part of a February Album Writing Month 'skirmish' where someone gives a title and you have an hour to write and record something to that title or theme. The title given was 'never saw it coming' and I went with a little social observation about how smartphones have changed our lives for better or worse...
