Machinery of the Heavens
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.
Gotta keep on waiting for the morning hours
Watch them running by to where they're going
Cuz when you're upside down those nuts and bolts feel awfully strange
Are crowds of moments feeling all the same
Are you tired in the morning do you shout out loud
Gotta keep on running when you're down
Gotta get out
Gotta keep away from all those empty hands
That suck up all your love and all your cares
Best to trade it all in for those old dancing shoes
And get rid all the weight that has been holding you down
Keep your toes from tapping on the ground
We didn't know to go from here
No we didn't know to go from here
No we didn't know to go from here
Cuz it all felt wrong
So we best be moving on
You better get out
In a crowd of people looking for a spark to catch
To put back in our mouths to set a flame
Cuz I didn't know what to say to you
No I didn't know what to say to you
No I didn't know what to say to you
I was just about to pack it in
But then I heard the news you that'd be here soon
And I sang ah ah ah
You brought it back to me
You gave it back to me
