Luddites and Lambs

[Verse 1]

Yes, I broke the telescope twice

Honey, your et cetera blows me and my confetti

Over a splendid range

I evolved a century as I read that diary

The car left the road (The car left the road, the car left the road)

And all I could see was present day

Without the tattoos or tyres

A girl is on the cover again, turn the channel over

I require every lung

Measure up a plaster cast 'cause I feel mortal

Let's make a man (Let's make a man, let's make a man)

And let's give him triggers

[Chorus]

(Oh, you rust the gears with your blood)

Slow release your medicine ball on me

Less of the priest you wanna be, wanna be

(Throw your body onto the cogs)

Girls Aloud, you're sapping my energy

Speaking in tongues in enemy territ'ry

(Wreck a piston they can't ignore)

Microsoft, you wanna be my lover

Terror and tears, I found me in the gutter

('Cause this is a rehearsal no more)

Teeth and nails, your little anatomy

War on the Tyne, you're playing a lottery

Bodies replete with everything, everything

All of the prisoners clamouring, clamouring

I decide there's nothing in my body

How can I be sure there's nothing in my body?

[Verse 2]

I demand a shuffling of cards

Doctor (In!) and animal (Out!)

Terrify us with your tales of a tragic loss

Half an hour later they'll be on my eyeballs

Telling the time (Telling the time, telling the time)

And fashioning stretchers, asking me

"Who left all the pyramids on?" (Who left all the pyramids on?)

First the Romans, then all the birds, lipstick on your feathers

Oh, I'm a dinosaur

Even now, I hear them from the engines run like

Luddites and lambs (Luddites and lambs, Luddites and lambs)

Like Luddites and lambs

[Chorus]

(Oh, you rust the gears with your blood)

Slow release your medicine ball on me

Less of the priest you wanna be, wanna be

(Throw your body onto the cogs)

Girls Aloud, you're sapping my energy

Speaking in tongues in enemy territ'ry

(Wreck a piston they can't ignore)

Microsoft, you wanna be my lover

Terror and tears, I found me in the gutter

(This is a rehearsal no more)

Teeth and nails, your little anatomy

War on the Tyne, you're playing a lottery

Bodies replete with everything, everything

All of the prisoners clamouring, clamouring

I decide there's nothing in my body

How can I be sure there's nothing in my body?

[Outro]

Stone and the soil, you're killing me, killing me

Steam and the oil, you're telling me, telling me

Lovers, I know you're out of your element

Joking aside, I've never been anything

Faking my death, you're telling me, telling me

Measure my breath, you're selling me, selling me

Heal the hull, I want it to be over

Flashing a bulb, you're gonna hurt somebody

Oh, you want her for your euphoria

Bullets and effigies, narrower, narrower

Money in mouths, you're selling me, selling me

Heavenly hounds, you're telling me, telling me

Bodies replete with everything, everything

Bodies repeat with everything, everything

I decide there's nothing in my body

I decide there's nothing in my body

I decide there's nothing in my body

How can I be sure there's nothing in my body?
