Lyrics

How could I ever compete? / How could I try when you never skip a beat? / Without you I am incomplete / It’s not just a figure of speech / I’m not carried away if I’m sounding like I preach / Transgression is not out of reach / Divine is a state we can artificially breach / Intertwining and combining, we’re merging and converging / Interchanging, integrating, we’re trading and upgrading / Synchronizing and revising, we’re learning and we’re turning into / Robotic, symbiotic / Twenty-second century beautiful people / Twenty-second century smiles / Twenty-second century beautiful people / Twenty-second century smiles / How could I ever compete? / I lie in my bed while you never need to sleep / Now, with you I am obsolete / I live in my head with these thoughts I can’t delete / Intertwining and combining, we’re merging and converging / Interchanging, integrating, we’re trading and upgrading / Synchronizing and revising, we’re learning and we’re turning into / Robotic, symbiotic / Our progress is in process / Twenty-second century beautiful people / Twenty-second century smiles / Twenty-second century beautiful people / Twenty-second century smiles / Beautiful people smiling, undying / Beautiful people smiling, undying / Intertwining and combining, we are merging and converging, interchanging, integrating / Trading and upgrading, synchronizing and revising, we are learning and we’re turning into / Beautiful people smiling. I’m dying / I’m dying. I’m expiring / Twenty-second century beautiful people / Twenty-second century smiles / Twenty-second century beautiful people / Twenty-second century smiles
