World Machine Lyrics


Spindles turn in the rooms

Engines roar to the tune

Stoke the fire, overkill

Turning cycle, it’s overdue

Time’s running out

Running so fast

The pressure is on

We’re on overdrive

Wheels seize to a halt

Labour silent to no groove

Suckon pulls in, override

Inside out, on overdrive

Time’s running out

Running so fast

The pressure is on

We’re on overdrive

World machine, engines burn

Fuel diseased, take me back

World machine, engines dead

Can’t you see

Take me back, world machine

Engines burn, fuel diseased

Take me back, world machine

Engines dead, can’t you see...

Silence falls in the womb

Mechanical soil starts to move

Quench the fire, overuse

There’s no pity, there’s no use

Time’s running out

Running so fast

The pressure is on

We’re on overdrive

Tears run to the soil

Blood entwines to be one

Stoke the fire, it’s overdue

Bearing fruit as we smile

Time’s running out

Running so fast

The pressure is on

We’re on overdrive
