Gerry Rafferty - Everytime I Wake Up Lyrics
Information Superhighway, crawling out around the worldYou go your way, I'll go my way, I'm living in a different worldSo much useless information, meant to stultify my mindStifles my imagination in this sea of humankind.Tomorrow is another dayBut we are here tonightTrust in our love and let it beEvery time that I wake up, I drink the potion from the cupAnd I awaken from this sleepIn the moment I can see, in the moment I am freeEvery time that I wake upCybernetic generation, all the little girls and boysVirtual communication, playing with their little toysRitual without devotion, virtual realitySound and vision, no emotion, psycho babble apathyAnd now we're sitting in the sunLove comes out of the blueTrust in our love and let it beEvery time that I wake up, I drink the potion from the cupAnd I awaken from this sleepIn the moment I can see, in the moment I am freeEvery time that I wake upWhen I'm lost inside the beauty of a melodyA window opens and I know that's where I want to beLike the sound of falling snowAwakes the magic in my heartDriving through Nevada City, on my way to God knows whereThis old town, it sure looks pretty, I just got to stop and stareLookin' at an old church steeple, it's got stories it could tellIn a world of sleeping people, no one ever hears the bellTomorrow is another dayBut we are here tonightTrust in our love and let it beEvery time that I wake up, I drink the potion from the cupAnd I awaken from this sleepIn the moment I can see, in the moment I am freeEvery time that I wake upEvery time that I wake upEvery time that I wake upWhat (or who) is left out of the picture of the world we are in when the world itself is portrayed as if nothing but "pure cybernetic processes?" And what haunts this most powerful of late twentieth-century theoretical-fictions? The answer, according to Norbert Wiener, is the "evil" of chaos - the noise of disorganized forms and the entropic erosion of workable boundaries between subjects in communicative flux.Information SuperhighwayCrawling out around the world
