Data Dust

(Alice Chance)

Dot on a grid, face on a camera
Digital print, frozen forever I just wanna clean slate I wanna keep a secret
Heart in the phone, phone in my pocket
I think it’s my own, but they can unlock it
I just wanna clean slate I wanna keep a secret

Can we go where they’re not watching? Can we go where they’d never know how to find us?
Oh o oh Sweep away our da-ta-dust
Can we run from the one-way mirror?
Can we go where the skies are clearer?
Only us.
Oh o oh Sweep away our da-ta-dust uh uh

Hey Know what I browse, know what I’m buying
What I can afford, what I been trying
Wanna blank page, yeah I wanna be a stranger

Know where I live, know where I’m working
They know who I like, know who I’m lurking
Wanna blank page, yeah I wanna be a stranger oh oh

Sweep away, sweep, sweep away can we?
Sweep away, sweep, sweep away can we?
Sweep away, sweep, sweep away can we? Oh!

Can we go where they’re not watching?
Can we go where they’d never know how to find us?
Oh o oh Sweep away our da-ta-dust

Can we run from the one-way mirror?
Can we go where the skies are clearer?
Only us.
Sweep away our da-ta-dust

We’re not made of numbers
We’re not made of searches
We’re not made, oh
We’re not made of numbers
We’re not made of searches
We’re not made

Can we go where they’re not watching?
Can we go where they’d never know how to find us?
Oh o oh Sweep away our da-ta-dust

Can we run from the one-way mirror?
Can we go where the skies are clearer?
Only us.
Sweep away our da-ta-dust

Can we go where they’re not watching?
Can we go where they’d never know how to find us?
Sweep away our da-ta-dust
