Gigabyte Wars - New Model Army

Well, you never grow up, you just get older, carrying

All the familiar burdens with you, walking back on

The hometown streets on a night devoid of stars

No one ever said it was going to be just, you really

Ought to know by now how She’s all red in tooth and claw;

After all, weren’t you the one screaming for more?

In the gigabyte wars — round and round we go

Beneath the vapour trails — tangled up inside in a web of lies

Hostages of fortune and savage tales

Well, you entered stage in blood and pain, gulped for air

And then you cried out — this is just the way it comes;

That’s Stupid Questions again.

.

It’s not the things that you fear that come to get you

But all the things you don’t expect, face down in a

Drowning pool of unfulfilled desire, in the gigabyte wars.

.

Then comes the rain — just seems to make the night grow hotter

We listen to the drops as they clatter on the roofs of the cars;

Sometimes it seems like you’re going to suffocate in this

Conspiracy of noise — but though the ties they stretch to break-point

Still they hold, still they hold, and blood runs still in crimson streams

And dries like the earth — but still they hold

In the gigabyte wars, once we were lost, then we were found;

Once we were found — then we were lost again

Get real, if a real exists — there’s nothing more than this

Strung out on nothingness.
