The Robot and the Psychonaut Songtext
von Bloc Party

There′s dishes in the sink
We're living like bachelors
Hidden compartments and secret rooms
Is that what we′ve come to?
How could I convey to you
The many ways I'm being pulled?
There are things above my head
That you just can't see
So if I choose to float in the breeze
Like a dandelion clock
Let me be

Tell me what to say
To get through to you
(Tell me what to say to get through to you)
Tell me what to do
To get through to you
To get through to you


Distance when we pass
We′re leaving room for Jesus
The A.I. won′t compute complexity
How'd you code forgiveness?
I know it′s what we do
I signed up for this life too
But the silence in our days
It gets me down
Although you're by my side
I can sense that you′re not here
Where is it that you go when we're alone?

Tell me what to say
To get through to you
(Tell me what to say to get through to you)
Tell me what to do
To get through to you
(Tell me what to do to get through to you)
The gift of love is we only get out what we put in
(The curse of love is we only get out what we put in)
Tell me what to say
To get through to you
To get through to you

The flies have come inside
And it can taste the dying
Algorithms for your time
Ayahuasca on my mind
If we could undo all the hurt
That had been done unto us
Then maybe it could have worked


I used to have the words
To get through to you
(Used to have the words to get through to you)
I used to know the ways
To get through to you
(Used to know the ways to get through to you)
The gift of love is we only get out what we put in
(The curse of love is we only get out what we put in)
Tell me what to say
To get through to you
To get through to you
To get through to you
