Machinery of the Heavens Songtext
von Patrick Watson

Gotta keep on waiting for the morning hours
Watch them running by to where they′re going
'Cause when you′re upside down
Those nuts and bolts feel awfully strange
The crowds and moments feeling all the same

Are you tired in the morning, do you shout out loud?
Gotta keep on running when you're down
Gotta get out

Gotta keep away from all those empty hands
That suck up all your love and all your cares
Best to trade it all in for those old dancing shoes
And get rid of all the weight that has been holding you down
Keep your toes from tapping on the ground

But we didn't know where to go from here
No, we didn′t know where to go from here
No, we didn′t know where to go from here
'Cause it all felt wrong
So we best be moving on
You better get out


In a crowd of people looking for a spark to catch
To put back in our mouths to set a flame

′Cause I didn't know what to say to you
No, I didn′t know what to say to you
No, I didn't know what to say to you

I was just about to pack it in
But then I heard the news that you that′d be here soon
So I sang

You brought it back to me
You gave it back to me
You brought me back the love

You gave it back to me
You brought it back to me

You gave it back to me
You brought me back the love

You brought me back the love

You brought it back to me
You gave it back to me
You brought me back the love

You gave it back to me
You brought it back to me
