Stereolab – Wow and Flutter Lyrics
[Verse]
I didn't question I didn't know
As far as I'd seen life was endless
When I realised I had to let go
We are mere mortals
As to the rest
[Chorus]
It's not eternal, imperishable
While on the move
It's not eternal, interminable
Progress is the clue
[Verse 2]
I thought IBM was born with the world
The US flag would float forever
The cold opponent did pack away
The capital will have to follow
[Chorus 2x]
It's not eternal, imperishable
Oh yes it will go
It's not eternal, interminable
The Dinosaur Law
[Denouement]
Look at the symbols, they are alive
They move evolve and then they die....
They move evolve and then they die........
I didn't question I didn't know
As far as I'd seen life was endless
When I realised I had to let go
We are mere mortals
As to the rest
[Chorus]
It's not eternal, imperishable
While on the move
It's not eternal, interminable
Progress is the clue
[Verse 2]
I thought IBM was born with the world
The US flag would float forever
The cold opponent did pack away
The capital will have to follow
[Chorus 2x]
It's not eternal, imperishable
Oh yes it will go
It's not eternal, interminable
The Dinosaur Law
[Denouement]
Look at the symbols, they are alive
They move evolve and then they die....
They move evolve and then they die........
