About the Artist
Lyrics
One cog connected to another We are depending on each other Can't make a love like this alone All of our destinies await us Somewhere within the apparatus If we never let each other down They cannot deflate us Oh, we're more lost than we've ever been Oh, in the wheels of the machine Oh, someone get me out of here Before I cry my eyes out again my dear Desire burning like a fever Too scared to operate the lever You tell me it hurts, well I believe you 'Cause I'm hurting too Trying to be a man, take a care-a The love of my life, her name is Sarah Because I promised a world like this, only fairer.
