Machine Songtext
von The Horrors

Your smile is nothing to live for
But read out your lines
And bring the fantasy to life

You taste like a ghost
A cold simulation
So close to the truth
A costume jewel, an off-white lie

Insect in amber, is that what you are
Keep it in mind now
Insect in amber, the death of a star
Now and forever

′Cause you will never, never, never be
Yeah, you will never, never, never be
More than a machine

A trace of a smile
A sly imitation
Light with no heat
An empty cry in silent streets


Your mannequin moves
You ghost through the motions
So close to the truth
You almost had me for a while

Insect in amber, is that what you are
Keep it in mind now
Insect in amber, the death of a star
Now and forever

'Cause you will never, never, never be
Yeah, you will never, never, never be
More than a machine

Insect in amber forever you are
Keep that in mind now
Insect in amber the death of a star
Keep that in mind now
No going back and there′s no one to tell
Nowhere to turn, better turn on yourself
No more disguises to find a way out
And you will never, never be
Yeah, you will never, never be
