Mechanical Swan Songtext
von The White Birch

Mechanical swan
It′s the image we build
To make the pain inside
Explain a usefull kill

Mechanical swan
It's the future of mind
Turning you outside in
In search of thrills of a perfect kind

You show me how the essence of beauty divides into perfection
With your face deep inside the diamond

Mechanical swan
It′s the part we play
To leave the odd man out
Exclude a different way

Mechanical swan
It's the promise we made
Turning you inside out
As you wait for a perfect trade


You show me how the essence of life is always in control
With your heart deep inside the machine

The spotlight's on
A door opens
The shadow thrown across the wall
A sudden silence except for a noise from the doorway
A clicking sound growing louder
Each click made by metal scratching against the floor
Even the smallest children are staring obsessively towards the light
And in comes the swan
With gestures so mild
She′s got no name and she′s got a phoney heart
But it doesn't matter
Cause she′s got enough beauty for everyone
And the swan points her finger to the sky
Talking so softly into the air
No one could ever possibly hear the words
And you know she's about to bleed
And you know there will be no comfort against
As the swan waves goodbye


Mechanical swan
It′s the perfect kind
Mechanical swan
It's the perfect mind
Mind build swan
