The Machine

about

A song about a machine.

lyrics

The cogs will spin when the day begins
For the fools and the freaks
The shadows in the sky will black out by and by
The names in the streets

But they’ll pull the plug and your eyes grow wide
And you get this feeling that you feel inside
A ticking clock tells you what to say
So you turn and walk the other way

Sparks will fly when the machine starts up
Of blue and white and red
You sip on kerosine from an empty cup
As you drag yourself out of bed

Yesterday and tomorrow too
They’ll get on with or without you
Against a vast and blackened sea
They’ll get you on your bended knee
And you to tell them what you see
And if you’ll cry and if you’ll flee
You scream out above the crowds, “No, it’s not me!”

We're just two friends making music because that's what we want to do...when we have time for it. Usually it's music that fits in to a thematic or conceptual album. Because that stuff is super cool!
