Man Machine

(album: I've Been Expecting You - 1998)

Sitting in the cheap seats underneath the stars
I'm heading back to base, I'll drop you off at Mars
I'm sure I know your face or what star you're from
I try to make conversation but I'm too far gone

I'm a man machine
Drinking gasoline
Super human being
Shooting laser beams

How you gonna leave, when your bags ain't packed
And how you gonna shoot, when we're back to back
How d'you tell a joke, when you can't laugh
You know that you're the punchline, baby, take a bath

I'm a man machine
(He's a man machine)
Drinking gasoline
Super human being
I'm a queen's dream
(He's a queen's dream)

The dog has ate my homework today
It's not done, it ain't done
I have heard they're not very well in the sun

'Cause I'm a man machine
(He's a man machine)
I'm a queen's dream
Drinking gasoline
I'm a queen's dream
(He's a queen's dream)

Yeah

Help

How you gonna live for love lying on your back
And how you gonna keep it clean in a dirty mac
How you gonna breathe when you're lost in space
You're dazed and amused talking through a different face

'Cause I'm a man machine
Drinking gasoline
I'm a teen dream
I'm a man machine
I'm a man machine
(He's a man machine)
I'm a man machine
Drinking gasoline
(He's a queen's dream)
