Fm  
Baby you’re so popular,

But there are those who don’t know you.

When you’re at the top of your game,

Chorus 

Fm                                       Ab 
Knocking on the walls but I don’t understand,

No longer a reason, we don’t need you around.

Lipstick changing, colours fading.

Sleeping pills you don’t need to take.

Fm 
Static cracks you can’t erase, 
                                 Ab 
Counting lines upon your face again. 
               Fm 
This is obsolete. 
Analog sawtooth wave, 
                         Ab 
Catalyst of yourself, erase.

This is not complete.

Enjoy the dying cry.

      Fm                          Ab 
The shock is knocking me to the ground,

This is chemical lockdown.

Bridge 

Fm 
Roll to me across the tables, 
Ab 
Place you someplace far more stable, 
Db 
I can cut the excess cables, 
C 
Show you how to be alive. 

Fm 
In your heart we place our future, 
Ab 
In your mind we craft and tutor, 
Db 
Sculpting you another suitor, 
C 
Bride for all the human race. 

     Fm 
Now we don’t need you please just leave, 
Ab 
You have failed and you can’t see, 
    Db 
So cut yourself from earthly trestles, 
Eb 
Leave a haunting empty vessel. 

Fm 
We don’t need ghosts in the tape, 
Ab 
The maker knows your time is late, 
Db 
And if you pay me we’ll repeat, 
Eb 
Human, you are obsolete.
