Tubeway Army - The Machman lyrics

I saw him turn on

Like a machine in the park

Saying `please come with me'

But you've been there before

I saw him whirr away

Into the night

Like a nightmare on wheels

Saying `never again'

I'd give it all up for you

I'd even be a number just for you

The strangest living boy

You could ever wish to see

`that's me'

Yellowed newspapers

Tell the story of someone

`do you know this man? '

Tomorrow the cure

Only police ever

See night time for real

Turn on the light

And cry `no more, no more'

I was standing outside your door

Waiting for the grey men to go

When my mind turned on me

With a vengeance I had never known

My own

Everyone heard

The voice on the radio

Saying `why move around

And waste my time'

There are no

Independents anymore

The tape is a circle

But who really cares

I saw you behind the wall

I even heard you laugh at me

You disgust me tonight

With your answer to something new

That's you
