Blip on a Screen - The Streets

Turn on the light, so it burns in the night

We turning down the flay

The world is uncertain

I’m uncertained by the curtains tonight

You will not know but grow, we will not dare

We’ll always smile and care and reply with your hair

We got to reverse the pattern

What’s the worse that could happen?

For the first time in my adulthood

The worse that could happen

Is utterly unthinkable, sinking, unsaid, dread

And suddenly I’m worried about the bread under the bed

But then all sort of awful shit seem plausible indoors

Proportions get walked in to the worse, and for certain

You’re growing thumbs, I’m going numb

Tucked into your mum looks like it might be quite fun

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

Black and white blotches to watch and not get

And the flashes of sense along with your body and head

It is all as simple as you think when you were little

It is all as simple as me sinking a little drink

Your growing nails, mine are so nailed

I’m drinking your mothers wine for both of us today

You don’t know choice but you know my voice

You should never have chosen me, I love like a boy

The world’s so dark sometimes, the noise of the cars

Building a world fulled up of toys and stars

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

You’ll dance on every song, foot fall every little move

Before you realize that every noise is not music

My dad raised these thoughts, he pastes these boards

I never knew, I just grew, that’s all you can do

But then growing to an adult is just learning the language

Of explaining with words what you were as a baby

You’ll leisurely learn how to lie and pretend

To service your love and rely on your friends

This could be fraught, but it’s all I got taught

And I don’t wanna make it up as I go along with yours

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

A blip on a screen, you don’t know me

I think about you and what you’ll grow to be

I fix and I plan, but this is just mad

I love you
