Hum - Suicide Machine

You'd Prefer an Astronaut

Lyrics:

Sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the Sunday afternoons.
Sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe yeah, but you.
Sleep comes to everyone while we wait, wide awake and blue.
Sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe, yeah, but me and you.

And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday.
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do.
And so I give myself away, unto everybody everyday.
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do.

Sleep comes to everyone while we wait for the Sunday afternoons.
And sleep comes to everyone, everyone maybe, yeah, but you.
And I had this one figured out,
That's why the suicide machine is built for two,
A simple sick device devised to overload on love,
To bring us colored dreams and soundtracked waves of fun.

And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday.
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do.
And so I give myself away, to everybody everyday.
And so I give myself to you, and you need it more than I do.

Sleep comes to no one else like we have falling through the ground,
Fulfilling promises of endless summer nights,
I'm losing ground, you're losing sound.

Somewhere through a thousand blues,
A dragonfly descends with just a whisper, I'm lonelier than God.
And all my wishes spin the fishes in the air and every one,
A different shade of you.

And to the left where up is down
Now stands a zebra made of shapes of me,
And silver and the sun.
So bring no guilt with you up above the flat-line,
Let's just hit the sky exploding into one.

What's really fucking sad is if you watch footage of their last reunion show, there aren't as many people there as you think there would be. I know myself and a ton of people couldn't make it, but if it were at least a massive crowd I wouldn't feel as bad. My generation is so lost in the shit they listen to today. No intelligence or appreciation for good music...so they label.

@DonaldLanoux89 If you are referring to the 08/09 new year's shows, the first night sold out quickly, so they added a 2nd show the following night, which also sold out. It's a medium size venue also, I've been to smaller ones. Mostly everyone there were die hard fans from around the country. It was the most energy I have felt from any concert I have ever attended. Sorry you couldn't make it there mate. They did 3 shows (at least) in 2010. Although Matt's wife hinted it could be their last :'(

Kidding with the dislike!

@devilsgrin6 I completely agree with you man, I'd be a liar if I said I found these guys before 2004. All I wish for music, is that given the vast resources for bands today over what was available to them 20 years ago, present and future bands like Hum will have their music heard by more people, if not generate more fans. Sadly, given more resources, the music that still makes its way to the top is still what middle and upper class caucasian girls find appeasing. They make the economy apparently

@AEFic I appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt sir, and by no means do I try to sound pretentious. But consider this, why is it that most people these days have a cd player or alternative listening apparatus installed in their cars such as a way to listen to their itunes? I drive about 300 cars a day as my job, and I can tell you it's certainly people catching a break from what is put on the mainstream radio. I didn't mention any other music, other than the mainstream today.
