21st Century Heartbeat - Luke Sital-Singh

Blue, blue morning in a satellite town

On the radio they’re talking about

A civil war and a missing child

I’ve got my coffee and I’m running out

I dial your number and I let it ring

There’s just no answer to anything

I woke up hollow as an apple core

I’ve got so much purpose, I don’t know what for

I’ve got a 21st century heartbeat

It’s a dying voice, it still haunts me

21st century heartbeat holding on

Blue, grey morning in a satellite town

I’ve got my head securely in the cloud

I’m not myself and I don’t know what’s changed

It’s so familiar but it’s all so strange

I’ve got a 21st century heartbeat

It’s a dying voice, it still haunts me

21st century heartbeat holding on

Oh I see a figure in the mirror

That I just don’t recognize

Oh I know I was sleeping while believing

There was life on the other side

There’s a melody fading while I’m waiting

But I daren’t open up my eyes, my eyes

I’ve got a 21st century heartbeat

It’s a dying voice, it still haunts me

21st century heartbeat holding on

21st century heartbeat

I can’t help it, it all haunts me

21st century heartbeat holding on
