Machine Keeps Time lyrics
Intro
Machine keeps time
Machine keeps time
Verse
Grey rail, black floor, my name goes thin
Kick drum counting where I've been
Sweat and smoke and the low steel hum
Pre-Chorus
Losing edges, losing name
Every beat erasing blame
Floor takes hold, I let it in
Chorus
Machine keeps time, I disappear
Skin and steel, the room's my mirror
Machine keeps time, no self, no name
Just the pulse and the strobe-lit frame
Verse
Hands up, gone, no clock, no face
Concrete breathing in this place
Bassline pulling through my spine
Pre-Chorus
Losing edges, losing name
Every beat erasing blame
Floor takes hold, I let it in
Chorus
Machine keeps time, I disappear
Skin and steel, the room's my mirror
Machine keeps time, no self, no name
Just the pulse and the strobe-lit frame
Bridge
No mirror left, just chrome and light
Body moving, mind out of sight
One long kick where I used to be
Chorus
Machine keeps time, I disappear
Skin and steel, the room's my mirror
Machine keeps time, no self, no name
Just the pulse and the strobe-lit frame
Outro
Machine keeps time
Machine keeps time
Gone
