Impractical Machine Songtext
von I Fight Dragons

If this city never sleeps, then i guess it never dreams
Says the hipster to me, while up above
Eight million rise and feed the impractical machine
Love and death and routine
And soon enough everybody′s up and on their way
And leaving me behind
I'm half as far in twice the time, undefined

And if i never know my name
Well i got no one else to blame
Lost my ticket for the train
So tell me where do i go now?
I′m just wandering around
Gaining space and losing ground
Profound and shallow
Profound and shallow


Now if you catch your tail
Did you win or did you fail?
Ask the prophets o'er the rails, as for me
I think i understand
Something's slipping through my hands
Lost my list of demands and now i see
It′s the one way out the only choice
The reason for it all:
We long to fly and learn to fall

And if i never know my name
Well i got no one else to blame
Lost my ticket for the train
So tell me where do i go now?
I′m just wandering around
Gaining space and losing ground
Profound and shallow
Profound and shallow

And if i never know my name
Well i got no one else to blame
Lost my ticket for the train
So tell me where do i go now?
I'm just wandering around
Gaining space and losing ground
Profound and shallow
Profound and shallow
Profound and shallow
