What Happens Now? Lyrics

I love this song... The music reminds of me early-day PT, and the lyrics are masterful - the second verse in particular conjurs up some amazing imagery.

I think it's fairly obviously fitting in with the Fear of a Blank Planet theme - the kid is bored of everything he has and asks what is left to do now he has all these material posessions. Storyline wise, it should probably come before Way Out of Here - the question 'What Happens Now?' sounds to me like the first inklings of a potential suicide...
