MGMT — TSLAMP Matthew Dear Remix

[Spoken Intro] Here we are, at the apex of the dilemma. And to think, this little gadget, which you all dreamed of having as a child is now causing so much grief. It's like getting that one and only childhood gift you always wanted. The eternal get. Gotten. But now that it's yours, you have to pretend you don't want it anywhere near you. You have to fool your friends and loved ones into thinking you don't really like it. You have to fool yourself into thinking you actually care about something else, something more profound Now, think of those childhood hikes, with friends, on the trails. Now download those maps for all flying use and make sure your children can follow in the exact footsteps you did as a child. Is your tree house now an Airbnb? If it gets five stars, will it forever recoil an inadequacy, knowing that it will never be a birthday childhood memory again? But, I digress. So, here's your truth: there is neither apex nor abyss. Wait, listen. Did you hear that? That was the sound of a distant universe collapsing, a new one forming, and a child laughing. We are here but for the tiniest speck of time. Live in eternal forgiveness. Be OK with every thought. Hurt no one. Stare at your tongue whenever you like. Just ahead, around the corner of time, there is another ion. And another. And always, more children laughing [Verse 1] Nothing can compete With the first time you saw her Passing strangers on the street Spending every moment looking at their phones (Phones) [x8] [Verse 2] Time spent sitting all alone Time spent looking at my phone Time spent sitting all alone Time spent looking at my phone I try to pull the curtains back Turn you off, can't be touched When all I want and all I know Is time spent looking at my phone [Verse 3] Find me when the lights go down Signing in and signing out Gods descend to take me home Find me staring at my phone I'm wondering where the hours went As I'm losing consciousness My sullen face is all aglow Time spent looking at my phone [Chorus] Last thing that you need Is the new shiny feature All the memories you've shared Devoured by perverted creatures Nothing can compete With the first time you saw her Passing strangers on the street Spending every moment looking at their phones (Their phones) [x5] [Verse 4] Time spent sitting all alone Time spent looking at my phone Time spent sitting all alone Time spent looking at my phone I call you, you don't call me back Almost had a heart attack I'm listening to the window moan Time spent looking at my phone [Chorus] Clouds are getting full So you close all the windows I would never let you die Even if our love is ornamental You know what you need Is a way to remember You can never find the time If you spend everyday looking at your phone (Phone) [x4] [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] You should come with me We can lose ourselves in nothing Copy faces from the feed And then try to turn them into something Even if you choose to believe that it's ending You'll come back to me again You can go ahead and stop pretending [Outro] Doo doo doo doo doo...
