about

“Cry”, Gary Numan’s clock said as the American West closed down. Power lines vibrate in the desert wind. Slow fade to computer screen, then blackness.

lyrics

We’re closed now
Keep off
My Land
The plains turn to sand
That’s what the wire said

I hear trains coming
Smoke in the sky
Lines in the sand
That’s what the wire said

Ghosts of voices
Chant numbers and code
Steel lines in the sand
That’s what the wire said

The game is gone
Here is no water but only rock
An empire of sand
That’s what the wire said
