lyrics

headed for disaster
not going home, anytime
I always knew you were right
so I didn’t listen
Smoking on the trainstop halfway down the line
I dream of being a machine being a part
of the unstoppable progress
tunnel through the mountain
and back into the light without a count in
I could slit my throat with stupid magazines but it won’t stop the engine
static on the station
how could I ever know
if no-one’s there to solve the boring mystery of electronic wires
and they’re pulling me down
to a place that I don’t know
and they’re pulling me down
to a place I think you knew all along
I dream of being a machine being a part
of the unstoppable progress
