The Machine That Cried

It's all right pinning your faith in youth Cos you there's one saving grace It buds and it blossoms and it flies for a while And then it starts to fade away You're looking at beauty but all that you're seein' is skin The machine, the machine that cried The machine, the machine that cried It's all right facing your life own truth If everyone believes what you say The beggar and the tycoon and the honest man All you need for a day We're dealing in fiction cos the truth's gonna drive us insane The machine, the machine that cried The machine, the machine that cried Aaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaah There's a man at the bus stop standing by you You've seen him and he's seen you You've seen each other so many times before It's the bitch on the TV that reads the news The singers singing that can't sing the blues The soldier who died but he's still too young to choose It's the girl you met when you were sixteen You fell in love but in between Found that she did not really love you
