(Verse 1)
Dusty monitor, glowing green and grey
Selling futures that were born just yesterday
Silicon dreams in a cardboard box
We were kings of the mountain, watching the stocks
Trade your soul for a T1 line
Everything is digital, everything is fine
(Verse)
The gold rush ended with a dial-up scream
Now we're waking up from a fiber-optic dream
Swap the suit for the denim again
The ticker tape is bleeding like a fountain pen
Just a ghost in the machine, a glitch in the code
While the moving trucks pull out of the Silicon Road.
(Chorus)
And we’re surfing the wave of glass
Hoping the investment funds last
Click the link, watch the screen go white
We’re losing signal in the middle of the night
Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust
In the land of the boom and bust.
(Verse)
Coffee in the lobby, flannel on the floor
CEO is screaming, "Give 'em more, Build a virtual empire out of thin air
While the real world’s rotting under there
The IPO was a lightning strike
Now we’re hitchhiking down a lonesome pike
Server’s down and the lights are low
Nowhere left for the data to go.
(Chorus)
And we’re surfing the wave of glass
Hoping the investment funds last
Click the link, watch the screen go white
We’re losing signal in the middle of the night
Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust
In the land of the boom and bust.
(Bridge)
Error 404...
I can't find you anymore...
The connection’s timed out...
What was it all about?
What was it all about?!
(Chorus)
And we’re surfing the wave of glass
Hoping the investment funds last
Click the link, watch the screen go white
We’re losing signal in the middle of the night
Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust
In the land of the boom and bust.
(Chorus)
And we’re surfing the wave of glass
Hoping the investment funds last
Click the link, watch the screen go white
We’re losing signal in the middle of the night
Yeah, it’s all just pixels and dust
In the land of the boom and bust.
(Outro)
System failure.
Shutting down.
Boom and the bust...
Just pixels and dust…
