Am/F I found the bones of all your ghosts
Em Locked in the wishing well
Fmaj7 While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
G I slumbered in my shell
Am/F In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
Em Kissed me on my eyes
Fmaj7 I rose and left the fire-ladies
G Glowing lonely in the night
Fmaj7 With all the pornographers
Em Burn A ing torches beneath the sea
Chorus:
Em I wan F t to G be a machine
Em I wan F t to G be a machine
Em I wan F t to G be a machine
Em I want to be a machine
Am/F I stole a cathode face from newscasts
Em And a crumbling fugue of songs
Fmaj7 From the reservoir of video souls
G In the lakes beneath my tongue
Am/F In flesh of ash and silent movies
Em I walked at boulevards again
Fmaj7 A nebula of unfinished creatures
G From the lifetimes of my friends
Fmaj7 I hope y Em our A innocence has depraved me
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Am/F Broadcast me, scrambled clean
Em Or free me from this flesh
Fmaj7 Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
G In every cell across wilderness
Am/F We'll trip such a strangled tango
Em We'll waltz a wonderland affair
Fmaj7 Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow
G Leave all emotion dying there
Fmaj7 In the s Em tar A cold beyond all of your dreams
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Ah!
