The Machine Stops
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found the air
down here in the chambers
you warned me of danger
but I want to stop this - for a moment
there must be someone - in the open
waiting for the starlight
rendezvous at midnight
I want to touch them - and to love them
and we'll be there - when it's over
all the love we'll never know
the machine has got control
can you hear the voices
calling out the choices
spend a lifetime - going nowhere
the machine stops - and it's over
all the love we'll never know
the machine has got control
I found the air
the machine stops
