Mechanical Wonder

I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I got a waiting ticket won't you sail it
Nobody's who's staying asleep knows what i'm saying

I'm gonna throw out a rope and keep it afloat it's granted
?????? independence
I'm gonna wake and take us all to where oh
Nobody's gonna talk me down by stormy weather

Got to sail my boat
Got to keep afloat
I get the need to keep on when i'm sailing

I'll sail across don't make it a choice i'll plan it
Nobody ever thought you wouldn't take you for granted
I'll tie the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing
Nobody ever taught me teach what i'm playing

Gonna lift up my voice and sing you a song romantic
??????? independence

Repeat chorus

Hold on in love take it to where you never
Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together
I've got a freedom ticket lets go sailing
Nobody's who's staying asleep knows what i'm saying

Repeat chorus twice

The mechanical wonder is
It's just a noise in my room
And i'm chasing the wonder and
It's just a hole in my tune

And the radio plays but it
But it don't sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is
What is all going wrong

And i walk down the road and i
I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my room

And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So i walk with you
Where the locks take flight

All machines make our lives today
And i like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is
It's just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me
But it don't sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is
Ah, it's all going wrong

And they rode it once ("and we rode it once" on last chorus)
On a thundering night
So i walk with you
Where the locks take flight
And we keep on through
It's where the road don't roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time

The machines that i'm walking from
Though they play in the songs
And the dreams that your holding on
Don't run for so long

So i'm hiding machines away
But i keep them for you
But the things that you wanna say
It's just a noise in my room

And i look at the picture now
And there's a weight on us all
But the mechanical wonder is
It's a cure one and all

Repeat full chorus with slight variation

if i gave you my heart
Where would you be
Would it mean nothing
If not for me

If i gave you my eyes
What would they see
Would they see nothing
If not for me

But i gave you my hand and my sign and my soul on the earth
And i gave up on truth when i heard about the words
I lived out of love when i gave it away
And i sold off my soul when there's no one to pay

If i gave you my hand
What would it write
Would it say nothing
Or say it's alright

If i gave you my arms
Would they hold you tight
First blood (?) in morning
Or bid you goodnight

And i gave you my strength and my worth and i gave you my gift
And i moved on the first and i left us to drift
And i reap from the soil and i build hopes from wood
It's a new better life and we have to ensure

And i gave you my dream of the world and you stole the key
You sang to the wind in the whole ??? sea
And i feel my weight and i guard my soul
And i found my beliefs when i found my control
I gave you my hand and my soul on the earth
And i gave up on the truth when i heard about the words
So i lived out of love when i gave it away
And i sold off my soul when there's no one to pay


Another version
---------------------------------------------------------
If i gave you my heart where would you be,
Would it mean nothing if not for me?
If i gave you my eyes what would they see,
Would they see nothing if not for me?

But i gave you my hand and my sign,
And my soul on the earth,
And i gave up on truth,
When i heard about the worst

So i lived out of love
When i gave it away
And i sold off my soul
When there was no-one to pay

If i gave you my hand what would it write
Would it say nothing or say it's alright
If i gave you my arms would they hold you tight
First light of morning or bid you goodnight

And i gave you my strength and my worth
And i gave you my gift
And i moved on the first
And i left us to drift

And i'll reap from the soil
And i'll build home from wood
It's a new better life
And we have 2 and should

And i gave you my dream of the world
And we stood on the quay
And we sang to the wind
And the whole darkening sea

And i feel my weight
And i guard my soul
And i found my beliefs
When i found my control

I gave you my hand
And my soul on the earth
And i gave up on truth
When i heard about the worst

So i lived out of love
When i gave it away
And i sold off my soul
When there was no-one to pay

Off the wall the streets you go
The little girl don't find her name
??? down roads to homes
Where everybody find their game

Just behind the street she goes
She'll be found behind her wheel
'cause it's the only place she knows
That makes her know just how she feels

'cause you're biggest thing
That i see
You got me where you want me
You hunt me down you hold me
And beg me to believe

All too fast to where she goes
But who'll be first to find her name
Holding on in hollywood
But holding on don't make the grade

Just about ??? it's alright
??? find
This holidays not hollywood
And holidays don't suit my game

Repeat chorus

Holidays and harlem(?) nights
Where everybody find their way
??? things they write
And makes you wanna find your place

Repeat chorus twice

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
And i'm love
I'm in my tree

I take a walk
Nine hundred miles
I cross the stile
I'm in my field

And i'm in love
And it's for free
I'm in my field
I'm in my field

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
And i will yield
I'm in my field

And i'm in love
Across the stile
Come in my field
Just you and me

We'll take a walk
Nine hundred miles
And i'm in love
We'll count the stars

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
Well i'm in love
Just you and me

I'm in my field
I'm in my stream
Well i'm in love
I'm in my tree

I take a walk
Nine hundred miles
I cross the stile
I'm in my field
