A product of my timezone, mix CDs and dial tones
Where we would listen to the universe think
While our heroes from the wreckage deliver us their message
On the perks of knowing how to lip-sync
♪
I can see the last frontier
The sunshine on a perfect day
Everything is permanent now
The single that gets overplayed
Everything is permanent now
The bubbles in your third rose
Everything is permanent now
The movements of the Milky Way
Everything is permanent now
Everything is permanent now
♪
A wilderness of gossip asking for deposits
And yet, it leaves you with some type of withdrawal
Playing on our senses with a thousand of its lenses
On everything you ate or just bought
The voices in the atmosphere
The home life of celebrities
Everything is permanent now
Subliminal obscenities
Everything is permanent now
The side effects of ecstasy
Everything is permanent now
All the people that we used to be
Everything is permanent now
♪
These tangled, creeping vines towards a life you left behind
And the people you'd forgotten you kissed
A wayward strand of anger at some controversial stranger
Who swears the virus didn't exist
I don't know where we go from here
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
The language of the hemispheres
The lonely server farms
The level of the rising sea
Everything is permanent now
The politics of Christmas trees
Everything is permanent now
The whole world within one screen
Everything is permanent now
I'm thinking we all should come clean
Everything is permanent now, now, now
