| MAN
AND MACHINE
when i'm driving in my car, i don't care about any thing when i'm speeding in my car, i don't care about anyone man and machine, machine and man we're always together they can't understand give anything for her velvet seats do anything just to hear her squeal man and machine, machine and man we're always together they can't understand my foot's on the pedal, such a crazy thing i'm never gonna stop loving this machine wheels are rolling with a rockabye motion and i love my car sirens screaming throught the city speeding but i'll never stop go through girls like i do through fines but i'll never leave my car my car and me such a crazy thing and i'm... when i'm driving in my car, i don't care about any thing when i'm speeding in my car, i don't care about anyone judge on the bench made clear his demands we're gonna have to have your license young man listen judge, don't you have a heart i ain't a criminal, just in love with a car now i'm back on the streets behind the wheel the papaer's gone but i still got the feel a life of danger, life of speed life of trouble for my car and me. weathered statues, tin soldiers that march in our parks wrapped in yellowed newsprint, on their benches in the dark faces fill with sadness, sorrow drawn from your nights surviving on old glories but now the glory's have died lonely men who are tortured, once proud but now forgotten gnarled hands hold canes, where guns were once before taunted by the children whose parent's lives he saved forgotten by a state, whose leg in war he gave silver gleams upon his chest, though sweat gleams on his brow darker days and sable nights, who work upon his soul his honor flew away from him, like pigeons on the wind spending his last pennies on cheap wine and sins but still they make the soldiers and soldiers still grow old another day, another statue, falls out in the dawn weathered statues stil march on and on i hear them walking down the corridor, footsteps in the halls of time faintly i see their faces, on the back roads of my mind words in the darkness are always there, raping me with their thoughtlessness dreams i can't clear from my head, i feel them calling to me naked night dance shadows on my window, i lay alone with a memory all my friends have died or gone away, i live my life for thoughts of yesterday away from the feeling i have in my head, if i ccould take back all the things i've said i watch them playing from the twilight of my years watching, waiting silent there, children running as were my tears i look back and... i used to love her a long time ago when things were fine now that's not so so i'm searching through dark clouds for silver linings i'm always searching but never finding look to my eyes, tell me what you see i'm empty inside but a small part of me it's listening to rumours and believing lies that parts always searching but it's never finding now i've met another and she's just the same she fools around and she plays her games i'm so tired of losing the games she is playing so tired of losing but my heart keeps on playing she says she loves me but my friends say she don't i'm so confused don't know which way to go so i'm back to the dark clouds looking for silver linings i'm always searching but never finding i used to love her a long time ago when things were fine, but now that's not so so i'm searching through dark clouds for silver linings i'm always searching but never finding look to my eyes, tell me what you see i'm empty inside but a small part of me it's listening to rumours and believing lies that parts always searching but it's never finding |
