"Machine" lyrics - THE TRAGICALLY HIP

THE TRAGICALLY HIP
"Machine"
(Rob Baker / Gordon Edgar Downie / Johnny Fay / Paul Langlois / Gord Sinclair)

I write about words
I find treasure or worse
I watch the end of man and
And I dream like a bird

[Pre-Chorus:]
I remain aloft
And I forget a lot
I try not to try and
I can remember or not

[Chorus:]
I'm a real machine, it follows
You're a real machine, fed on shadows
I'm a real machine, follow
You're a real machine, fed on shadows

I return your gaze
I wait in the rain
All inchoate desires
I do what I hate

[Pre-Chorus:]
I remain aloft
And I forget a lot
Then I try not to try and
I can remember or not

[Chorus:]
You're a real machine, it follows
I'm a real machine, follow

I'm a real machine, it follows
You're a real machine, fed on shadows
I'm a real machine, it follows
You're a real machine, fed on shadows
