ALKALINE TRIO
"Broken Down In A Time Machine"

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna go back
No, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back
No, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back
No, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go back
No, I don't wanna go

A moment I can't leave behind
It was hide and go seek at the end of our childhood
Say goodbye to the innocent mind

[Pre-Chorus:]
I hear voices and I see lights coming
From the door down the hall
I hear voices and I see lights coming
From the door

[Chorus:]
I was born in a time machine
Broken down at some gruesome scene
Sometimes it works in reverse
And so I really would hurt

[Post-Chorus:]
You didn't know I was there
I didn't wanna be
Now I can always go back
But I don't wanna see
You didn't know I was there
I didn't wanna be
Now I can always go back
But I don't wanna see

Brings me back here at the worst time
As if things weren't bad enough when you ruined me here the first time
I can't just go away
Not now, not again, not today

[Chorus:]
I was born in a time machine
Broken down at some gruesome scene
Sometimes it works in reverse
And so I really would hurt
I got used to numbing so comfortably
Wrapped in here with what's on TV
Now I don't dare turn my back
That's when I get attacked
I'm broken down in a time machine

[Bridge:]
I hear voices and I see lights coming
From the door down the hall
I hear voices and I see lights coming
From the door

[Chorus:]
I was born in a time machine
Broken down at some gruesome scene
Sometimes it works in reverse
And so I really would hurt
I got used to numbing so comfortably
Locked in here with what's on TV
Now I don't dare turn my back
That's when I get attacked
I'm broken down in a time machine
I'm broken down in a time machine
