Automatic

Automatic was the 3rd single in support of Boombox. The B side of it's vinyl release features etched artwork. Peter Baumann mentioned the guitar tone being particularly tricky to nail when playing the song live.

Thus far, this song has been played at every tour.

Hush all that noise!

What can i do for you sister?

We plugged into the universe and spiral out of orbit

Like a rudderless ship, whatever you want to call it


Are you afraid?

What comes next?

Any idea?

You say the action is go, I say it´s out of control

While they are playing songs of love

Standing on shaky ground

Walking on thin ice

Never use a safety net

You never get trapped


This is automatic

Got no doubt about it

My mind is over matter

Can´t get any better

And we know this is magic

We´ve got the perfect habit

We´re stealing it from different planets

And we put it on a boombox


Two people from the world of entertainment

Get down on their knees and beg me to stay

Take them back, take it back, take me back

Are we heading to the bar for the hopeless

Emptiness is taking over a rudderless ship?

Sounds like a goodie:

You can´t leave? - can´t stay? - cold feet?


Standing on shaky ground

Walking on thin ice

Never use a safety net

You never get trapped


This is automatic

Got no doubt about it

My mind is over matter

Can´t get any better

And we know this is magic

We´ve got the perfect habit

We´re stealing it from different planets

And we put it on a boombox

Got no doubt about it - boombox

My mind is over matter - boombox

We´ve got the perfect habit

We´re stealin it from different planets

And we put it on a boombox


Five chances of not making it we learn until we earn the shit


Sky high

You play your favorite note

I sing my favorite line

Sky high

No better place to go

No better place to shine


This is automatic

Got no doubt about it

My mind is over matter

Can´t get any better

And we know this is magic

We´ve got the perfect habit

We´re stealing it from different planets

And we put it on a boombox

Got no doubt about it - boombox

My mind is over matter - boombox

We´ve got the perfect habit

We´re stealin it from different planets

And we put it on a boombox

Standing on shaky ground

Walking on thin ice
