i want to be a machine
Singer:ultravox
i found the bones of all your ghosts
locked in the wishing well
while birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
i rose and left the fire-ladies
glowing lonely in the night
with all the pornographers
burning torches beneath the sea
i stole a cathode face from newscasts
and a crumbling fugue of songs
from the reservoir of video souls
in the lakes beneath my tongue
in flesh of ash and silent movies
i walked that boulevard again
a nebula of unfinished creatures
from the lifetimes of my friends
i howled your innocence has depraved me
or free me from this flesh
let the armchair cannibals take their fill
in every cell across wilderness
we'll trip such a strangled tango
we'll waltz a wonderland affair
let's run to meet the tides tomorrow
leave all emotion dying there
beyond all of your dreams
