Machina II / Friends and Enemies of Modern Music

you can hear the baby bones
crack beneath her wheels
tears of avalon
streak silent down her shield
high crimes and misdemeanors
unfortunate attacks
will leave you standing nameless
while she's turning back
vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why
Elenore you've lost me
in a haze of wine and cocaine
gone and cost me everything I blame
broadcast in tv detail
to call their own stories
as I try to recapture
our best in former glories
vanity stands naked at my door
vanity cries, why
vanity wants everything and more
vanity must die
she swears she'll turn around
turn around for good
she swears she'll turn around
turn around for sure
you'll know you'll run around
run around for her
you know you want it all so pure
he's on that dirt road
you've still got ways to go
soak in sights and city lights
while you still can borrow
curse fall will find you
and bring a memory
the ghost of her surrender
and a kiss of anarchy
she's naked at my door
vanity cries, why
vanity wants everything and more
vanity must die
die
die

away to the side you move your head
gravity fingers dig in your back
the strangest man won't let you breathe
rocking on you in a movie scene
his words fill your mouth
his guests bleed sick
devoid of touch
he lets out to the streets where you were raised
sittin' home waiting for the coming age
you had to wait your turn
you had to wait your turn
wake up early, wash up late
satellites connect you to your hate
your patience grows but your skin is thin
the pager signals they're coming in
through the hole in the wall
you left a hole in the wall
here's to the atom bomb
may everyone find a way to get on
[?] seven is all you seek
in the same old re-run week after week
their faces make you want to kill
their little piece of heaven singing on the window sill
no lights can turn you on
pixelate the night
feed in the words
of your eyes on the streets where you were born
sittin' home waiting for the coming dawn
you're the hole in the wall
you left a hole in the wall


[Machina II version]

clung to the sweater from the day you were born
never knew better, that's what you swore
mother hugged you cause the walls were thin
in saturnine sweetness and ratio
no boy could spell you out
in the grass at night
beneath the stars
you grew right past the streets where you were raised
sneaking out early to a secret place
like a hole in the wall
like a hole in the wall
into the bed you hang your sleep
watch your man as he sinks beneath
you cut out his heart and watch him die
so we can know you and that you're alive
as the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall
noone can know your soul
kisses and noise
now you belong to them all
awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes
light the prayer candles that you remind to
send you a boy that you could waste
a little piece of heaven to set you straight
through the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall
noone could tell you why
the tape's full of hiss
and sons who cry
to the night of the dead and the wishing ghost
beating on you to drain morose
through the hole in the wall
we are the holes in the wall
we are the [cut off vocals]

the slowest night
the slowest dance
you sway across the room as you dream
an empty house
with empty rooms
I loved you so
and now you're going
go, and leave if you must know
and go, I never wanted you to know
go
we ran away
or so we thought
now I know you were told to
go
to know love
to show love
and go
to give love
to feel loved
and go
i fell asleep
washed up on the shore
I kiss my [son Christopher?]
you move to speak
no words could reach me
at one, once knew
go, love, and learn by your desire
and know love
you're the only reason why
I'm terrified to go
to know love
to show love
go [go]
to give love
to feel loved
go [go]
to know love
to show love
i'm begging you to go

fall into the century of supersonic cross
blessed she in aching silence
eternal loss
calling out a warm surrender
a locket of her hair
I sympathize her pious pleasures
go down the stairs
into the dark again
to feel alive again
can't wait for
real love
or is it me you're after
is it time
cause it's now or never
real love
real love forever
real love
born of the ball and chain
into a world sustained with sorrow
real love
a real touch we're speaking
is it lies
or is it what we're seeking
real love
in the eyes behold and you'll find the 21st century
detonate her will and her widowed speech
buried in the backyard shadow
the rusty coffee tin
that held her mother's first kiss of nameless dream
fall down the stairs again
to feel alive against tomorrow
real love
or is it me you're after
is it time
cause it's now or never
real love
real love forever
is it mine
or just yours to treasure
real love
real love
real love
we never listen
real love will listen
and tell of our fortune
real love is riches
scratch through the changes
real love is nameless
so tired and hopeless
real love is painless
nobody mentions
we ever move to collect
the solar questions
demons' scorn surround relax
the laws of gravity
real love

hold silent
you were my violent stow
in my life
just for the moment
and then the young die
so you can die
I was alive
I was alive
in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me in
in my body
the lonely creatures
the lonely creatures scream
june's outcast
left hiding, their bone sleeps
burned alive
wasted sunsets
haunted my tunnel light
right through my clothes
in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me in
I was alive
I was alive
in my body
you'll never find me
you'll never pull me in
in my body
the lonely creatures
the lonely creatures scream
in my body
in my body
in my body
in my body
in my body
in my body
in my body
in my body
in my body

speed kills
but beauty lives forever
speed thrills
but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter, winter
and stood still beside eternal flame
and when I ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
with all I'd asked, and all I'd prayed
the last rose of summer would stay
the first time that I ever saw you
crashing hard through days of pain
you were one of god's children
left to cry out in the rain
waiting to be saved again
cause when I ride
with you tonight
we can move
at the speed of light
and all I'd ask, and all I'd pray
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer is gone
long gone
gone
the last rose of summer is gone
when I ride
with you tonight
we can move at the speed of light
forever young
forever blind
into the stars
we rock tonight
the last rose of summer (is gone)
the last rose of summer (is gone)
the last rose of summer (is gone)
the last rose of summer (is gone)
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer
the last rose of summer (is gone)

this in blood
I suppose
breaking jaws
I'm no good
as the prodigal son
and I know that you're mesmerized
had a vision, made these laws
and sanitized [?]
I miss him so
you are so fucked
it has begun
revolution crawls
all over you
[?]
you light up the sky
and scrape out your skull
your lovely face
will never [?]
it was so unlikely doom
upon my wrists I bear the cross
my losses mounted as I climbed across the hole
of my own soul
I'll climb across
I don't exist
I am divine
a ghost with eyes

It's just a fact that ya must attack.
Gotta get it while you can.
