inside the machine

bruce dickinson

i've got myself a widget

a gizmo with wires and martian intent

strange face of beauty

that's my machine

it blinks and stares right at me

sees nothing but in its wires

a strange thing of beauty

that's my machine

you won't believe what it can do

it tells me things i never wished i knew

like the mirror when you ask

it tells you truth

inside the machine

the web has got you now

inside the machine

i'd strap my dna to it

a living device

the light of my life

strange face of beauty

that's my machine

i sit

we crackle with static

it makes no sense to have experience

when a strange thing of beauty

that's my machine

you won't believe what it can do

it tells the things i never wished i knew

like the mirror when you ask

it tells you truth

inside the machine

we're looking for control

inside the machine

you're part of it somehow

inside the machine

inside the machine

the web has got you now

inside the machine

you're part of it somehow

inside the machine

we're looking for control

inside the machine
