Miss Machine Lyrics - 2004

[ Buy Miss Machine ]

We wrote these plans
took the order the architecture and
followed them to the end
until the gears ground cold and relentless
there was no remorse

we had none
we kept on with no trace of a regret
there was no remorse
I never saw any blood
no soul for the body
watch them turn her scab
covered skin into stone

like a coal in the sky
searching for the dawn
for the last time bloated
with white eyes wide

we've come to an understanding
you lose I profit
high noon and
there ain't no secrets
no more excuses

now our number's up
let them lead us by the throat
now just smile while the rope pulls tighter
guilty is an understatment

the hourglass is never right side up and
all the time we try to tear the script up

forgetting all the sour for the sweet
the paragraph has never been so empty

the mother dies with infant in arms
the lifeless test tubes, look what she's done
evolution gave us a clock that's always
winding down
