Machina II - The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music lyrics

midnight people rushing for a downtown train
watching and wasting away
empty hearts beat free
cool frequency
and I don't know what it is
I'm gonna run
the slow dawn
seeking sigh
oh so faint
I'm gonna run
the slow dawn
away
it's best undone
[hard to hear this part]
and I'm not sure what it is
but I'm sure that I can give
away the slow dawn
slow dawn moves by your side
takes your silent sleep

you can hear the baby bones
crack beneath her wheels
tears of avalon
streak silent down her shield
high crimes and misdemeanors
unfortunate attacks
will leave you standing nameless
while she's turning back
vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why
Elenore you've lost me
in a haze of wine and cocaine
gone and cost me everything I blame
broadcast in tv detail
to call their own stories

to the ages I have seen
creatures I have stopped
bloody simple features
everyone's choosing sides

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
saturnine

how I'd love to waste your time
saturnine
saturnine

goodbye all you widows
tear-stained underneath
blessed onto the many
while seeking some relief

saturnine
how I'd love to waste your time
saturnine
saturnine
saturnine

shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
got a lot of tears
in a blood stained jar
it's been a real long time
since I walked the fine line
you put up the walls
you put up the walls
hold all my calls
cause I'll be by the pool
won't you please worship me

though i need it
soul power
got to have it
soul power
though we want it
soul power
got to have it
soul power
give it to me
soul power
how you need it
soul power
though I need it
soul power
got to have it
soul power
I want to get under your skin
if I get there
I've got to, got to win
soul power
soul power
soul power
soul power
then you'll know
I'm coming from
I'm on the case

Ya gotta understand.
Ya gotta understand.
It's just a fact that ya must attack.
Gotta get it while you can.

Well everyone's gonna be a big star.
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car.
Everyone's gonna be in charge.
'Cause everybody's business is everybodys' business.
Ya, we think you understand.
Ya, it's just a master plan.
Ya, we're just coming down for you.

My baby has got three eyes.

this in blood
I suppose
breaking jaws
I'm no good
as the prodigal son
and I know that you're mesmerized
had a vision, made these laws
and sanitized []
I miss him so
you are so fucked
it has begun
revolution crawls
all over you
[]
you light up the sky
and scrape out your skull
your lovely face
will never []
it was so unlikely doom
upon my wrists I bear the cross

speed kills
but beauty lives forever
speed thrills
but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
and stood still beside eternal flame
and when I ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
with all I'd asked, and all I'd prayed
the last rose of summer would stay
the first time that I ever saw you
crashing hard through days of pain
you were one of god's children

if there is a god
I know he likes to rock
he likes his loud guitars
and his spiders from mars
if there is a god
I know she's watching me
she said she likes what she sees
but there's trouble on the breeze
who are you
this time
are you one of us
flying blind
cause I'm down here throwing stones
while you're so far from home
and if there is a god
you know They're on tv

Pop tart
What's our mission
Do we know
But never listen
For too long
They held me under
But i hear
It's almost over
In detroit
On a memphis train
Like you said

It's down in the heat and the summer rain of
The automatic gauze of your memories
Down in the sleep at the airplane races

Try to hold on
To this heart
A little bit longer
Try to hold on
To this love
Aloud

If I were alive
If I were real
Would you survive
What would you feel
Heavy metal
Heavy metal machine
Heavy metal
Heavy metal machine
As sentimental
As our broken dreams
Let me die
For rock n' roll
Let me die
To save my soul
Let me die
Let me die
Rock n' roll
Let the world forgive the past
Let all the girls kiss the boys at last
Let me go
Let me go
Rock n' roll
Heavy metal

shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass
I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
got a lot of tears
in a blood stained jar
it's been a real long time
since I walked the fine line
you put up the walls
you put up the walls
hold all my calls
cause I'll be by the pool
won't you please worship me

Ya gotta understand.
Ya gotta understand.
It's just a fact that ya must attack.
Gotta get it while you can.

Well everyone's gonna be a big star.
Everyone's gonna drive a fast car.
Everyone's gonna be in charge.
'Cause everybody's business is everybodys' business.
Ya, we think you understand.
Ya, it's just a master plan.
Ya, we're just coming down for you.

My baby has got three eyes.

you say I'm beautiful
well I can't help it
you say I'm empty
we all know I'm full of shit

get out, get out
you've lost control
get out, get out
you're growing cold
can anyone
anyone be true
does anyone
anyone want to be you

you say I'm tragic
I say it's magic kid
you say I'm lucky
we all know what's in your cards

get out, get out
get out, get out
you've lost control
can anyone
anyone be true

fall into the century of supersonic cross
blessed she in aching silence
eternal loss
calling out a warm surrender
a locket of her hair
I sympathize her pious pleasures
go down the stairs
into the dark again
to feel alive again
can't wait for
real love
or is it me you're after
is it time
cause it's now or never
real love
real love forever
real love
born of the ball and chain

The slowest night
The slowest day
You sway across the room
As in a dream
An empty house
With empty rooms
I loved you so
And now you're going
Go, and leave if you must know
And go- I never wanted you to know
Go
You ran away
Or so we thought
Now I know, you were told to
Go - to know love, to show love
And go - to give love, to feel loved
And go
I fell asleep
Washed up on the shore

Last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
Set the frame
Destiny on this last name siloque
Tired symphonies play down on

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you my love

so far, so far, so far

Lovers form dead excuse

innocence
innocence finds you there
innocence
innocence doesn't care
any way you choose
the sun and the son
are true
hold me now
I won't let go
innocence
innocence lets you go
innocence holds you down
any way
any way that you want
and you will be there
with the sun
and you say you don't care
oh, any way
any way that you want
in the love
in the love we're unsung
it's any way
any way that you want

We'll wander off through the dead of night
'Cause wasteland of shattered souls
Warm by the firelight
I peer into the darkness alone
As the Indian summer that I remember
Settles on my bones
Cracked and weary
I asked for direction home
Home
Let the words spill from my mouth
Love
Love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
Love
Love is everything I want

Unleash the armageddon
So all the children go to heaven
I sit by quiet still with their pictures on my eyes
You'll draw the guns you're given
Write down the words as written
And never disturb the presence of resurrection crutch
And it's about time
It's about drawing near
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears
Descend the darkened stairways
Make hate with plastic playmates

wander slow
and your kisses chase
what must I do
if only for your warm embrace
for all maintain
must you conquer pain
and every little spider that crawled up inside her
is waiting for my phone call
and now I remind her
of every single liar
living for the killing stone
white spider
will you crawl
white spider
the end has past
[]
I understand you
I am, I am
know I am
I'm sorry you had to

hold silent
you were my violent stow
in my life
just for the moment
and then the young die
so you can die
I was alive
I was alive
in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me in
in my body
the lonely creatures
the lonely creatures scream
june's outcast
left hiding, their bone sleeps
burned alive
wasted sunsets
haunted my tunnel light
right through my clothes
in my body

if there is a god
I know he likes to rock
he likes his loud guitars
and his spiders from mars
if there is a god
I know she's watching me
she said she likes what she sees
but there's trouble on the breeze
who are you
this time
are you one of us
flying blind
cause I'm down here throwing stones
while you're so far from home
and if there is a god
you know They're on tv

away to the side you move your head
gravity fingers dig in your back
the strangest man won't let you breathe
rocking on you in a movie scene
his words fill your mouth
his guests bleed sick
devoid of touch
he lets out to the streets where you were raised
sittin' home waiting for the coming age
you had to wait your turn
you had to wait your turn
wake up early, wash up late
