Zero sum
A mute point
A cut out trying to fill the void
A shit grin
A performance
A tipping point
A loose bannister
The physical lines
Of forced thought
That's a lot to burn for no reason
A gas leak
I'm falling through the ice
A vacant lot to buy
Vacant lot to buy
Clipped tongue, acting dumb
Somewhere in the past in a re-run
Thinking all the ways
The system will provide
Windows 95
Windows 95
So over confident, confident, confident
So over confident, confident, confident
That's another red flag, red flag
That's another red flag, red flag, red flag
The masterclass
The TED Talk
That's a lot to burn for no reason
Think of all the ways
The systems will provide
Windows 95
Windows 95
Listen close
Listen carefully
You will hear that the birds
Are in the wrong place
Fortunately there
The system will provide
Windows 95

Been listening to RP for over almost 20 years. Was absolute musical heaven in the infancy of streaming audio! 40 decades of great music with a touch of new. Never hit the skip button as much as I do now. Clearly the new guard has taken over. Clever segues between songs non-existent. A huge part of song list for tonight is nothing but pushing new garbage. Don't forget, new listeners would hear great songs prior to 1990 for the first time. I know you've got to sprinkle in the new and absolutely love RP for that, but don't forget your roots and what brought you to prominence. Peace.
Can
I think someone has a fever.

Definitely not the song you are looking for after your third cup of coffee

William, Excellent track choice from this great new album. I think there are probably 3 other RP worthy tracks on this album as well. This is their most solid album overall of the 3, IMHO.
And for the audiophiles out there, the sound quality of all their albums is great.

Haha, so he's really singing "Windows 95, Windows 95" - I thought I was just imagining things! 
Too much for my working environment, right now. I feel I could enjoy this track in a different surrounding.
First one to comment! A bit chaotic indeed, as Bill commented, but really promising album
