about

(Kom / Sharratt / Nicoll)

lyrics

The summertime Santa
On his dog a bandana
Patterned with reindeer
They made a good team

He would sit with his legs crossed
Beside the old kiosk
People gave him their quarters
After buying ice cream

The sun on the mountains
The pigeons in fountains
The gulls in the garbage
Just doing their thing

The kids in the courtyard
Burning their report cards
I remember the chorus
Of the song they would sing

It was the end of the internet
And the things people make
Back when we didn’t quite get it yet
On the last normal day

Making dollar store coffee
Brains fuzzy and foggy
The glare of the sunrise
Set fire to our screens

Watching things get destroyed, a
Brand new schadenfreude
Crept into our conversations
And our dreams

At first entertaining
Like the Monkey Christ painting
Then far more alarming
Than a new Jesus face

Like watching a model
Ship sink in a bottle
It’s just like an earthquake
Seen from outer space

It was the end of the internet
And the things people make
Back when we didn’t quite get it yet
On the last normal day

Not everybody gets a raft or boat, ask Jack and Rose
Let’s rearrange these deck chairs before we go
