Mechanical Bull

You hit the floor, but they still want more from you, you can
Sleep When you are dead," Get back where you belong," they said
It's all one big machine, one giant sound, a million horns
And thrusting pipes the highways stink of gasoline
These fiber optic cables lead me back into the stables
There's a hookworm in my pocket plug me back into my
Socket there's a zero on the ATM, I'm screaming at my best
Friend, Oh the train is late again where did these tunnels come
From And where do they go?
Pounding on the keys I've locked myself out could I buy a ticket
Please a car pulled up and burned me with the exhaust I am exhausted
Somehow all the stores were air conditioned, I'm conditioned where's
The shampoo what's that camera looking at am I under arrest
I can't remember anything, there are too many letters in their
Magazines I hold my wallet like a gun I'm on the run the crimson
Carpet flashes me a smile I'm gonna charge I'm so afraid everyone's
Watching, how did I get here I was a child once
Blaring horns fill up the sky from every possible direction
Flashing beams of angry lightning blinding will I have a seizure?
In the morning an alarm was ringing and it never stopped
I've been riding on the bullshit every day when can I get off?
A thousand nights of loneliness, agreeable indecencies, indignities
Convenience, it's pushing me down to my knees
They're buckling onto the cement my blood is spilling, this doesn't
Make any sense why do I have to carry all this weight am I a slave?
What is this around my neck what is this around my neck
I just want a taste of sour milk so I can know its power
Just give me a peek behind the curtain so I'll know for certain
I know I can stop I'll turn it off just one more minute at the trough

What's the hurt in doing hurtful things if you'll never remember?
