Approximate sunlight

Used to dream of time machines
Now it´s been said we´re post-everything
As a child, imagining
Neckties and coastlines
I´ve seen the show, man, what a sight
Drenched us in approximated sunlight
The crowd was small and mostly blind, but kind
You´re too kind
Now you are how you were when you were real
Now you are how you were when you were real
There you go again, on that circular trip
Lick the solar plexus of some L.A. shaman
I´m out of breath, I better sit
Been living hard, living
All I do is follow, just follow this hollow you around
I wouldn´t waste another thought
On what is fair and what is not
The Quinceañera dress she bought
Was unstitched with bullets
All the guests in the garden screamed
Women and tires squealing
Such opulence, such misery
Unwinding, unwinding
All I do is follow, just follow, just follow this hollow you around
Now you are how you were when you were real
Now it´s been said we´re post-everything
As a child, imagining
Neckties and coastlines
I´ve seen the show, man, what a sight
Drenched us in approximated sunlight
The crowd was small and mostly blind, but kind
You´re too kind
Now you are how you were when you were real
Now you are how you were when you were real
There you go again, on that circular trip
Lick the solar plexus of some L.A. shaman
I´m out of breath, I better sit
Been living hard, living
All I do is follow, just follow this hollow you around
I wouldn´t waste another thought
On what is fair and what is not
The Quinceañera dress she bought
Was unstitched with bullets
All the guests in the garden screamed
Women and tires squealing
Such opulence, such misery
Unwinding, unwinding
All I do is follow, just follow, just follow this hollow you around
Now you are how you were when you were real
