about

This is a song about voluntarily giving away your personal info to corporations.!

lyrics

There’s an art to living in a window. Strike a pose and place your arms akimbo.
Look down at people moving below. Keep it open wide and feel which way the wind blows.
Every day the view’s a little clearer. Each night we get a little nearer.
It feels like looking in a mirror. Left turns right & outside is interior.

Try to keep it up it up, baby. No such thing as making a sly move.
We all know what you’ve been up to.
We got what you want. We got what you want. We got what you want..

All the things you thought you kept within you; secrets and desires are in full view
It’s a pane that anyone can see through; where you wanna go and places you have been to.
Take one step the machinery will follow offering the vapid and the hollow,
custom made and easier to swallow. Things you need even though you don’t know.

You can look it up it up, baby. There’s nothing that we don’t know when you stand right in your window.
We got what you want. We got what you want. We got what you want….

You go to my head, baby, in through my eyes. Do you make me real. (with your sneaky voodoo)? Will you hold me tight?

Call it choice or call it confusion. Call it joy or call it illusion.
Could be chance or could be collusion: all our voices singing in unison.

Try to keep it up it up, baby. No such thing as making a sly move
We all know what you’ve been up to.

There’s an art to living in a window.
