Lyrics SHAKING ON A STRING - Whitey

SHAKING ON A STRING

Wakes up
A machine
Starting up
He
Stands up
Exhausted from his dreams
Broken up
Can’t
Start up
A world with normal things
Meaning nothing
He
Wakes up
Coiled like a spring
Twisted up
And he cannot
Attract attention
'Cause it will leave
Him too wound up
And that
Kind of frustration
Is too much
It’s too much
So look
Don’t touch
Look at the machine
Burning up
So
Distraught
He’s shaking on a string
Breaking up
But who’s
Pulling on the strings?
Why make a machine
Designed for nothing?
Yeah, why
Start up a machine?
Tell it what it needs
And send it down a dead end road?
Send it down a dead end road?
Send it down a dead end road?
Send it down a dead end road?
