lyrics

We’re getting close
We’re getting close
We’re getting closer

Once, a lightning thought a tree was cold
A creature thought: “That’s a sight to behold”
And thus began the tale of sorrow
I get it, but we’re getting close

Someone was tired of chasing aurochs
Thought of his neighbors and became euphoric
Now animal tears are pouring
I get it, but we’re getting close

Let’s build the ultimate omniscient supreme machine
Let’s travel far beyond the iris has ever seen
If you try to contain me, I will hit your wrist and smack your bum
‘Cause what we are is just a glimpse of what we can become

Peasants sure were keen on news
Well, Gutenberg has the thing for you
Now information’s more tried than true
I get it, but we’re getting close

The Wrights squinted at the sky
“A-Wings are not that hard to come by!”
Now, we can drop bombs anytime
I get it, but we’re getting close

Let’s build the ultimate omniscient supreme machine
Let’s travel far beyond the iris has ever seen
If you try to contain me, I will hit your wrist and smack your bum
It’s only dignity we have to overcome

Gadget Man
Now I am
Become death
The destroyer of worlds

We’re getting close
We’re getting close
We’re getting closer

The Berlin-based odd rock band Zooflirkus pondered at the beginning of 2020 about how to create music that you like, even though you don’t want to. Weird instruments paired with weird vocals about the wonderfully contradictory nature of humanity and its abysses are served on a blotted silver platter. Fun for the whole broken family! ... more
