When The Machine Starts Songtext
von Missy Higgins

When the machine starts up again
Will I be chasing every car
When the machine starts up again
Will I continue outrunning my heart
When the machine starts up again
Will I be spinning all the plates
Dancing in the mirrors
Clicking all the bait

When the machine starts
Will you remind me
I saw the truth once
I saw it floating in the air


When the machine starts up again
Will I be snapping at its wheels
Drinking down the voices
Oh, and buying books on how to feel
When the machine starts up again
Will I forget what it was like
To be standing here looking up
Drinking in the sky

When the machine starts
Will you remind me
I saw the truth once
I saw it floating in the air

Oh, don′t let me forget
Don't let me forget
Don′t let me forget

When the machine starts up again
When the machine starts up again
When the lockdown ends
And the speed is picking up
Will you remind me, darling
What it felt like just to stop
