Great Big Machine Lyrics by Coyote Wall

The Naturalist

2021

[Verse 1]
With the heart of a lion
The brain of a pigeon
The voice in your head
And that old time religion
Inside your garage
With the nuclear fission
[Refrain]
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 2]
And down on the shore
They will wait for you patiently
Drunk on the promise of saving creation
We scatter the pieces in each simulation
[Refrain]
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 3]
I played guitar 'til my
Fingers were blistery
Learned enough science
To kill off thе mystery
Warm golden hour
In the twilight of history
[Refrain]
Grеat Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 4]
And I taught a conman
To fetch and to heel
And you taught a dog
How to swindle and steal
So don't get hung up on
Discerning the real
[Refrain]
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 5]
And if I were a senator
I would be brave
And if you were a soldier
You wouldn't behave
With one foot on the dashboard
And one in the grave
[Refrain]
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 6]
So get on a boat
If you're willing to drown
In the open expanse
Of the infinite now
With a song in your heart
And a thorn in your crown
[Refrain]
And a Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 7]
And climb up your stepladder
Shout it on high
Like the communist flock
On the Fourth of July
For the prophet can see
What the heroes deny
[Refrain]
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Verse 8]
So write down your poetry
Polish your prose
Take up your rifle
Or take off your clothes
And share all the secrets
That nobody knows
[Refrain]
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
[Outro]
Cause there's no way to tell
How the rest of it goes
Great Big Machine
Gonna swallow the world
