Lyrics Leave The Engine Room - Everything Everything

Leave The Engine Room

Baby gets born, rolls on his back
Opens his eyes and hears a voice a-saying, «Oh, oh, oh, oh»
I’ll tell you a secret about yourself
I’ll tell you a secret about yourself
Your father was bad, his father was bad
His father was bad, need I go any further on?
You’re not gonna try to involve yourself
Your pliable head is a walking hope
'Cause even now, there’s a bone snapping
Doughy embryo, bloody hands clapping, the blood is clapping
If all the boys say you did it
And all the girls say you did it
And if all the boys say you did it
And all the girls say you did it
Then man, you’re as guilty as
The ones that came before
You sleepwalked over here
The drawbridge creaks ignored
Leave the engine room and go
Leave the engine room and build a road
Leave the engine room
The steam will peter out
And I’m tired of the centuries passing
The vacuum and the womb
And I respect that things have changed
And I’m alone and I remember snatches here
And I involve myself with utter madness
Leave me lounging
With my nerves butchered and the ceiling torched in the birth canal
'Cause even now there’s a bomb dropping, it’s ever dropping
'Cause all the boys say I did it
And all the girls say I did it
And, mother, all the boys say I did it
And all the girls say I did it
And man, I’m as guilty as
The ones that came before
