Sunshine Songtext
von Jonathan Coulton

We were blind to every sign that we should′ve seen
In a clear, unbroken line, machine to machine
Our mistakes were the future, but no one could tell

Long on Bitcoin and regret, with not much to show
The roaches took the kitchenette, we just let it go
Walked away as the skyline crumbled and fell

We could have stayed
Inside the city, the machines have made
But we took our time
Here in the sunshine

Cast the shadow of a world that's gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we′re on (sunshine)

Every bit was filed away, the world on a drive
They lost Steve, but they got Ray, if he's still alive
We don't hear from the inside, not anymore

When we watch the wall at night
The tops of the trees reflect a cold and bluish light
A sudden unease
If there′s nobody left, then who is it for?


We soldier on (such a short life)
Light bulbs and batteries are almost gone (down a steep slide)
Watch the world unwind (on the outside)
Here in the sunshine

Cast the shadow of a world that′s gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)

The color of a sky, the shape of a kiss
Everything I have and not what I miss
All this time, the world was waiting for this

All the rest have slipped away, just me and the wall
I won′t last another day
And here, where I fall, marks the end of a great big beautiful thing

And who will see? (Such a short ride)
There's no one left who can remember me (down a steep slide)
But today is mine (on the outside)
Here in the sunshine

Cast the shadow of a world that′s gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)
Cast the shadow of a world that′s gone (sunshine)
Paint the edges of the road we're on (sunshine)
