about

From The Dark & The Light, the track was released September 28, 2018.

In the vein of Gary Numan's early work, Church of Trees offers a plaintive cry against the hate/fear mongering now prevalent in the United States. The song features the soaring vocals of Ottawa's DeeDee Butters.

lyrics

Like Gary Numan
by B.R Frazer ©2018

I found a recipe
On a darknet site
A kind of formula
That turns water into wine

Take a drink and you're Trump-proof
From all the sick shit
His minions dish up
When they're digging into it

Are we living in the darkest time in history?
No surprise we want to disappear
From all this fear

I want to be like Gary Numan
Live in my car, be an auto inhuman

Don't like the melting pot
They want to purify the line
But in reality
They are as muddy as they're blind

They cannot listen
Because they will never submit
They do not understand time
Or that we're running out of it

Could we be whisper close to eternity
Could we be a single breath from insanity

I want to be like Gary Numan
Live in my car, be an auto inhuman
Under cover, and utter illusion
Here in my car, I'm in total seclusion

Like Gary Numan
L-l-l-l-l like
Gary (Gary, Gary)
Like
G-g-g-g-g-g
Like Gary Numan

I want to be like Gary Numan
Live in my car, be an auto inhuman
Under cover, an utter illusion
Here in my car, in total seclusion
Like Gary Numan
Like Gary Numan
Like Gary
