Lyrics

Hello Machine

Hello machine
I used to think we had the technology
But now I'm trapped within this song

A love machine
The sun shines brightly on you today
You can't can't can't can't
Get it wrong

How do you play like a jumbo jet
How do you play like a jumbo jet

Of all the machines
And equipments that I have come to know you as
This form you've chosen is close to ideal
This one is the best

My one true love
I'm not that worried about the future
You can't be beaten
You won't be superseded

How do you play like a jumbo jet
How do you play like a jumbo jet
