The Machman

[Verse 1]

I saw him turn on like a machine in the park

Saying, "Please come with me", but you've been there before

I saw him whir away into the night

Like a nightmare on wheels saying, "Never again"

[Chorus]

I'd give it all up for you

I'd even be a number just for you

The strangest living boy you could ever wish to see

"That's me"

[Verse 2]

Yellowed newspapers tell the story of someone

"Do you know this man?", tomorrow the cure

Only police ever see night time for real

Turn on the light and cry, "No more, no more"

[Chorus]

I was standing outside your door

Waiting for the grey men to go

When my mind turned on me with a vengeance I had never known

My own

[Verse 3]

Everyone heard the voice on the radio

Saying, "Why move around and waste my time?"

There are no independents anymore

The tape is a circle but who really cares?

[Chorus]

I saw you behind the wall

I even heard you laugh at me

You disgust me tonight with your answer to something new

That's you
