[Verse 1] We'll have no telephones here Just a gentle mouth to a smitten ear No technology here Such heady chemistry can't be engineered We'll use no binary code No pixilated template to contain us both Ignore the scurrying roads We'll stay right here and want for nothing more [Chorus] And as the earth eats itself, swallows us whole We will set out ourselves and switch everything off [Verse 2] No machinery here No chain smoking factories with their monotone sneer There's no technology here No damning indictments or digital sin So can't we both disappear? Run away and play dead like i did last year We'll need nobody else at all Sheltered and happy in our candlelit hole [Outro] As the earth eats itself, swallows us whole We can lie here hidden, pull the wires from the wall As the earth eats itself, swallows us whole We will set out ourselves and switch everything off
