Machine

Magdalene walks alone

Diamonds mirroring her mind as she sulks beside the sun

Never seen a woman come undone and stay so composed

She kissed me soft and sweetly, holds a rose just like a gun

But I don’t want to love you, honey

I just want to be your machine

Nothing to see, babe

When the lights are on

But I don’t want to love you, honey

I just want to be your machine

Nothing to see, babe

When the lights are on

Magdalene moves like the rain

Her fingers trembling with grace as she traces lines of stars

The light of her eyes electrified in her face

She cries like mercury, angel lavender and lace

But I don’t want to love you, honey

I just want to be your machine

Nothing to see, babe

When the lights are on

But I don’t want to love you, honey

I just want to be your machine

Nothing to see, babe

When the lights are on

So come to me when no one’s watching

Magdalene, do what you want

Soldier night comes steady marching

Girl, I’m ready to go

Ain’t nobody gotta know

But I don’t want to love you, honey

I just want to be your machine

Nothing to see, babe

When the lights are on

But I don’t want to love you, honey

I just want to be your machine

Nothing to see, babe

When the lights are on
