Shaking On A String

[Verse 1] He Wakes up A machine Starting up He Stands up Exhausted from his dreams Broken up Can't Start up A world with normal things Meaning nothing He Wakes up Coiled like a spring Twisted up [Bridge] And he cannot Attract attention ’Cause it will leave Him too wound up And that Kind of frustration Is too much It's too much [Verse 2] So look Don't touch Look at the machine Burning up So Distraught He’s shaking on a string Breaking up But who's Pulling on the strings? Why make a machine Designed for nothing? Yeah, why Start up a machine? Tell it what it needs And send it down a dead-end road? [Outro] Send it down a dead-end road? Send it down a dead-end road? Send it down a dead-end road?
