Lyrics Sunshine - Jonathan Coulton

We were blind to every sign
That we should have seen
In a clear unbroken line
Machine to machine
Our mistakes were the future
But no one could tell
Long on Bitcoin and regret
With not much to show
Roaches took the kitchenette
We just let it go
Walked away as the skyline
Crumbled and fell
We could have stayed
Inside the city the machines have made
But we took our time
Here in the sunshine
Cast the shadow of a world that's gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)
Every bit was filed away
The world on a drive
They lost Steve but they got Ray
If he's still alive
We don't hear from the inside
Not anymore
When we watch the wall at night
The tops of the trees
Reflect a cold and bluish light
A sudden unease
If there's nobody left
Then who is it for?
We soldier on (such a short life)
Light bulbs and batteries are almost gone (here on Steve's side)
Watch the world unwind (here on the outside)
Here in the sunshine
Cast the shadow of a world that's gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)
The color of the sky, the shape of a kiss
Everything I have and not what I miss
All this time the world was waiting for this
All the rest have slipped away
Just me and the wall
I won't last another day
And here where I fall
Marks the end a great big beautiful thing
And who will see (such a short ride)
There's no one left who can remember (here on Steve's side)
But today is mine (on the outside)
Here in the sunshine
Cast the shadow of a world that's gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)
Cast the shadow of a world that's gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)
