Like Gary Numan, ft DeeDee Butters

by Church of Trees

/

about

This edgy synthpop track is a musical homage to early Gary Numan. Lyrically, it follows a woman caught in the centre of the current American era of hate/fear-mongering. Her overwhelming fear of this new age of hate causes her to lock herself in her car and try to escape the madness around her. The line "I want to be like Gary Numan, live in my car, be an auto inhuman" is a reference to the concept of 'safety through isolationism' put forth in Numan's classic song Cars.

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
