Sleek White Baby - Punch Brothers

Do you ever feel alone, old pal?

Are you ragged, running low on morale?

Have I got something grand that I’ve planned for you

Baby, do you burn for glowing power after dark?

In the shadow of some hour you feel the spark?

Have I got something swell that I’ll tell to you

You’re not alone

For so many years man has suffered the plague of isolation

Isolation from his fellow man, fellow woman, unable to connect

Unable to reach out and touch someone

To be tethered, to be one with the world

But now man and woman can be attuned to every arcane detail

Every dog’s bark, every boy’s back, every girl’s tiara

With a new invention, a staggering development in technology

Sleek White Baby

Keep it by your bedside, maybe

And then how all of your friends

All of our friends

Are here now

Such cheer now

Nine out of ten businessmen agree

The sleek white baby should be your constant companion

Whether you’re dining, traveling, moping, convalescing, or eating a sandwich

Don’t be the one left out

If you fail to buy our prized new machine

(Why would you do that?)

You will find yourself stung by the sting

(It's painful, really it is)

Of gloom and misery, how you will die alone

(That doesn’t sound pleasant, does it?)

Alone, alone, alone, alone

Woooh
