Lyrics

Suicide Machine

[Verse 1]

Sleep comes to everyone

While we wait for the Sunday afternoons

Sleep comes to everyone

Everyone, baby, yeah

But you

[Verse 2]

Sleep comes to everyone

While we wait, wide awake and blue

Sleep comes to everyone

Everyone, baby, yeah

But me and you

[Chorus]

And so I give myself away

To everybody every day

And so I give myself to you

And you need it more than I do

[Chorus]

And so I give myself away

To everybody every day

And so I give myself to you

And you need it more than I do

[Verse 3]

Sleep comes to everyone

While we wait for the Sunday afternoons

And sleep comes to everyone

Everyone, baby, yeah

But you

[Verse 4]

And I had this one figured out

That's why the suicide machine is built for two

A simple, sick device devised to overload on love

To bring us colored dreams and soundtracked waves of fun

[Chorus]

And so I give myself away

To everybody every day

And so I give myself to you

And you need it more than I do

[Chorus]

And so I give myself away

To everybody every day

And so I give myself to you

And you need it more than I do

[Verse 5]

Sleep comes to no one else

Like we have, falling through the ground

Fulfilling promises of endless summer nights

I'm losing ground, you're losing sound

[Verse 6]

Somewhere through a thousand blues

A dragonfly descends with just a whisper

I'm lonelier than God

And all my wishes spin the fishes in the air

And everyone a different shade of you

[Verse 7]

And to the left where up is down

Now stands a zebra made of shapes of me and silver and the sun

So bring no guilt with you up above the flatline

Let's just hit the sky, exploding into one
