State Of The Art Lyrics - Making Mirrors - Gotye

When the cotillion arrived 

We threw out the television 

I'm Model D 575 

Has custom flute presets 

And Harmony-Plus in addition 

Now for an arm and a leg 

We get three half-dozen beats to choose from 

So now we can pretend 

That there's an orchestra in the lounge room 

I put the genie bass on 

So my left hand can play the choir 

With sixteen foot Diapason 

And Lowrey's patented Orchestral Symphonizer 

Banjo's great on repeat 

The kids want to play but they'll have to be patient 

The wife can't help tapping her feet 

It's a genuine home entertainment revelation 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(State of the art) 

(Hold the phone, it's so) 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(Listen to the difference!) 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(By use of a computer) 

(Oh my God, it's so) 

State, state, state, state of the art 

Now we don't want to go out 

When we could spend the night at home with the cotillion 

Invite the neighbors around 

Start the boss a nova beat and limbo from the living to the kitchen 

Enjoy the state of the art 

The magic swing piano really is astounding 

Now we can't tell them apart 

But these amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(State of the art) 

(Hold the phone, it's so) 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(Computer controlled tone color) 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(The marriage of music to computers is quite natural) 

(Oh my God, it's so) 

State, state, state, state of the art 

(It is time to hear the results) 

(Hold the phone, it's so) 

(Oh my God, it's so)
