I Dream Of Wires Lyrics
I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best, I worked them all
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing ’o’
We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show
New ways, new ways
I dream of wires
So I press ’c’ for comfort
I dream of wires, the old days
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best, I worked them all
I dream of wires
We went to sleep by dialing ’o’
We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show
I dream of wires
I dream of wires, the old days

I love how as our world become increasingly "wireless" this song is becoming more and more relevant.
Another sci-fi song from Numan. Futuristic tale about the last electrician on earth reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Features a wicked synth solo.
"We drove to work by proxy I plugged my wife in, just for show" is my favorite line in the song.
Numan was something of a futurist in his thinking to be sure.
Yet one more powerful song with riviting images contained in the lyrics, backed with enchanting synthesizer.
