Mechanical Wonder |
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) |
