Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine lyrics

I certainly haven't been shopping

For any new shoes

And

I certainly haven't been spreading myself around

I still only travel by foot

And by foot, it's a slow climb

But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so

I can't stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go

And

Won't go slow

So's not to focus, and I notice

He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as

They go fast from whence he came

But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so

He can't stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go

Then it would find me

I can't help it

The road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it

I'm an extraordinary machine

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day

You deem me due to clean my view

And be at peace and lay

I mean to prove

I mean to move in my own way, and say,

I've been getting along for long

Before you came into the play

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so

Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes

While they chaperone

Curious, you looking down your nose at me

While you appease

Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your

Mind at ease

Do I so worry you

You need to hurry to my side?

It's very kind

But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail

I promise you, everything will be just fine

If there was a better way to go

Then it would find me

I can't help it

The road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it

I'm an extraordinary machine
