"Uncanny Valley" lyrics

Johnny Flynn & Robert Macfarlane Lyrics

"Uncanny Valley"

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally

Will you build me a shelter from bushes and sticks?
Will you light me a fire with pitches and sticks?
I've gone helter-skelter
I've gone shilly-shally

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally

Oh the landmarks are shifting
And twister is rising
The fog hasn't lifted
Beyond the horizon
There's no dilly-dally
There's no grand finale

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally

Oh we slid through the rift
On a brass and a drift
On a dime and a gift
We were given short shrift
Oh will we now shall we
Oh may call our Sally

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally

Oh the sky is closing in now
The stars are on fire
The way markers founder
As funeral biers
To the step, to the rally
To the march, through the galley

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally

All the way to the unknown thing
And the death in the life that we bring
All the way to the unknown thing
And the death in the life that we bring

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally

We all got lost in the uncanny valley
Took a wrong turn at the end of the alley
No one had a map and no one kept tally
In the uncanny valley, no one can dally
