When the Machine Starts

When the machine starts up again
Will I be chasing every car?
When the machine starts up again
Will I continue? my heart?
When the machine starts up again
Will I be spinning all the plates?
Dancing in the mirrors?
Clicking all the way?
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 spanning 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’s like to be standing here looking up, drinking in the
sky?
Whn the machine starts
Will you remind m
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
