[Verse 1]
I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me "The Sparkle"
I was the best, I worked them all
[Chorus]
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
[Verse 2]
We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing "O"
We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show
[Chorus]
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
[Verse 3]
So I press "C" for "comfort"
I dream of wires, the old days
[Chorus]
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me "The Sparkle"
I was the best, I worked them all
[Chorus]
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
[Verse 2]
We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing "O"
We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show
[Chorus]
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
[Verse 3]
So I press "C" for "comfort"
I dream of wires, the old days
[Chorus]
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
