paranoid android

Yorke talks in high falsetto
and his crescendo is
j u s t � s o �m u c h
as the high wailing
of a lost soul

He sees
and says
the empty half truths

and the inverted, ugly rainbow
across the smogged sky
becomes the talk of the times
which is but a projection
from the six sigma model

and Eiffel tower is such beautiful
waste of electricity

and why why why why why

Just so as to be immortalized
in the hard disk drives
of all those developed world tourists-
glorious, golden

Yorke talks about
the town and the trends
and about the unreal realism
while Greenwood shudders
and makes his guitar
bleed beautifully

They break down-all-of-them
post recording and
the-EP-is-a-smash-hit
and what do you do?
You 'like' them
on Facebook and Myspace
and create discussion boards
to fight about what they intend

to convey thru the abstractions

Ha!

Thom, my friend, well you can go on
and so they will �

MTV killed music but what to do
when ___________ sit
and debate about
the genre of the white noise
on the telly
(the flickering black and white)
comparing it with
their own vast emptiness
listening to Special disc editions
with weed and beer

Someone just takes out his
brand new Android
and they get back
where they started
and appreciate as

It�s a thing of beauty
with endless applications
and someone plays
the favourite track
where Thom and them play live

�� a. The track starts with
�� the crowd screaming
�� deafeningly

�� b. the track progresses
�� in high defination
�� excellent resolution
�� and surround sound 5.0

Wow-Android, I am so paranoid
(Perfection indeed seems to be
worth it. where is the fish hook)

The different solos
and synthesizer work
just blows them away
as they listen to it
letting themselves be
touched by the surreal magic
�

It's just too sad, my friends,
it's tragic!
