| The mechanical wonder is It’s just a noise in my room
|
| And I’m chasing the wonder and
|
| It’s just a hole in my tune
|
| And the radio plays but it But it don’t sing a song
|
| And the mechanical thunder is What is all going wrong
|
| And I walk down the road and I I awake in a tune
|
| But the mechanical thunder is It’s just a noise in my room
|
| And we rode it once
|
| On a thundering night
|
| So I’ll walk with you
|
| Where the locks take flight
|
| Oh machines make our lives today
|
| And I like them the best
|
| But the mechanical thunder is It’s just a noise in my head
|
| And the radio plays at me But it don’t sing a song
|
| But the mechanical wonder is How it’s all going wrong
|
| And they rode it once (And we rode it once on last chorus)
|
| On a thundering night
|
| So I’ll walk with you
|
| Where the locks take flight
|
| And we’ll keep on through
|
| It’s where the road don’t roar
|
| Where the farm once stood
|
| Where the union crawls, big time
|
| They’re machines that I’m walking from
|
| Though they play in the songs
|
| And the dreams that you’re holding on Don’t hold for so long
|
| So I’m hiding machines away
|
| But I’ll keep them for you
|
| But the things that you wanna say
|
| Is just a noise in my room
|
| And I look at the picture now
|
| And there’s a weight on us all
|
| But the mechanical wonder is It’s a cure one and all
|
| (Repeat full chorus with slight variation) |
