lyrics

Fundamentally different than we are accustomed to-
Whimsical and intricate, the notes do what we tell them to-
Let your self unfold and fall,
and find yourself forgetting all-
Nothing is to big to swallow,
black is white, walk through the wall...

And it’s so easy to-
put three chords together-
send your muse to a place you’ve never ever-
wanted to- but now it’s driving you,
to follow through-
you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do-

With a heavy eye-
I see the screen-
take all of me,
oh my - oh
With a heavy eye-
I can see the screen-
take all of me
oh my machine-

Carefully and diplomatic-
Feel what you would like to free-
Soul retrieving’s automatic-
watch yourself like a T.V.
Glass illusions, burning sand,
it’s relative you understand
Narrow arches, criss and cross-
our hands are folded, then they’re tossed....

And it’s so easy to-
put three chords together-
send your muse to a place you’ve never ever-
wanted to- but now it’s driving you,
to follow through-
you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do-

With a heavy eye-
I see the screen-
take all of me
oh my - oh
With a heavy eye-
I can see the screen-
take all of me
oh my machine

Subordinate to the machine-
Subordinate to the machine-

And it’s so easy to-
put three chords together-
send your muse to a place you’ve never ever-
wanted to- but now it’s driving you,
to follow through-
you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do-
