Luck Song - The Cat Empire

So by now you have seen me

By now I have seen you

Would you would you would you

Move with me

Looked through a looking glass

And what did I see?

I saw one thousand cameras shooting

And a giant TV

And a mass of people sitting watching

Watching that big screen

When around them was a fire burning

That they couldn’t see

They couldn’t breathe but kept watching

And thought things they would be fine

Believed that the screen

Would be screening for all of time

Conceived the idea they were

Behind the screen divine

But when it came to living

Were what petrol is to wine

Hear through some speakers sounding

What did I hear?

I hear some plastic singer singing

Plastic lyrics in my ear

And a mass of empty hands clapping

With an empty cheer

When in the distance was some soul music

That they couldn’t hear

Neared the speaker with the plastic song

And tried their best to move

Cleared a floor and tried to shake it

But they couldn’t find their groove

They feared to recognize that what they heard

Was music abused

And when it came to dancing

Their bodies refuse

So by now you have seen me

By now I have seen you

Would you would you would you

Move with me
