Lyrics
The Modern Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the modern things
Like cars and such
Have always existed
They've just been waiting in a mountain
For the right moment
Listening to the irritating noises
Of dinosaurs and people
Dabbling outside
Kahi
Engin fylgist alveg
Kahi
Sólin sekkur
Kahi
Engin sér við mér
Það er sól þegar
Andar inn í mér
Hann bítur mig
Hann bítur mig
Já, hann kemur með
Fylgir eftir mér
Telur með
Siglir eftir mér
All the modern things
Have always existed
They've just been waiting
[?]
To come out
And multiply
And take over
It's their turn now
Kahi [?]
Hann kemur með
Fylgir eftir mér
Telur með
Siglir eftir mér
Kemur með
Fylgir eftir mér
Telur með
