It's the end of the world I heard them say Should I fall in love? Or stay the same I got some plastic flowers I put 'em in a box It's the most human thing I've been doing It is the most human thing I've been doing Is it the end of my life? As I expected The dial-tone hums But I'm disconnected I feed all my secrets To a glowing machine It's the greatest place where I've ever been seen It's the greatest place where I've ever been seen! And it drains me! (Drains me) It drains me It drains me It drains me I'm painting with math And I'm talking to air They tell me it's soulless That nobody's there (no one cares about your thoughts) But my plastic electronic shell That simulates my entire hell It's the most common place I've ever been It's the most common place I've ever been And I look at the ceiling And I look at the floor I don't think I can do This act anymore If I turned off the power If I pulled out the plug Would I finally feel The earth give a shrug? And if I could be What you wanted! If I could be A real human! All the time All the time All the time But I'm just a pile of plastic memories In a box of my own With my plastic flowers And a dead telephone And it drains me! (Drains me) It drains me It drains me It drains me
