from the single Bring it on Down





the things that scare me most

are the things that i know least about

like love and death and being alone

and some things i don't talk about

baby says to me to be as happy as can be

she needs "[a] little help from her friends"

and she says "oh yes, but i still love you"

and that's all very well, but

where does it all end?



cut and dried

i wanna be like a machine inside

cut and dried

i wanna be like a machine inside



should i leave this burning ship

or should i stand on the deck 'til the end?

oh i can choose it either way i will lose

but at least on that i can depend

so how can i care for you

when you won't even care for yourself?

all i need is just some little way out

that's not so bad for my health



cut and dried

i wanna be like a machine inside

cut and dried

i wanna be like a machine inside



cut and dried

i wanna be like a machine inside

cut and dried

i wanna be like a machine inside
