This Machine is Dying Lyrics by Kittens Ablaze

The Monstrous Vanguard

2009

[Intro]
One, two, three!
One, two, three!
[Chorus]
This machine is dying
This machine is dying
And this machine is dying
And this is the end of this machine
[Verse]
Well I'll come over and put tacks on your roof
And I'll clear away the dead trees and I'll spend at your booth
Pray for all of our sakes
That's it's not blown away
But now what the hell do we do?
I mean, what the hell do we do?
[Verse]
Well I tried to get out but the bridges had sunk
And the whiskey and the wood smoke had erased all I thunk
And I dunked my head in a bucket to get clean for the day
But now what the hell do wе do?
I mean, what the hell do wе do?
[Chorus]
This machine is dying
This machine is dying
And this machine is dying
And this is the end of this machine
[Verse]
With the gas stations all washed up on the beach
The casino-rich deacons pen [?] relief
And the olive branches have been stripped of their leaves
But now what the hell do we do?
I mean, what the hell do we do?
[Verse]
Well the talons they unearth the scorn of the daughters
And you can't just build cities with fire for mortar
And the martyrs that matter they are ash in the sand
And now what the hell do we do?
I mean, what the hell do we do?
[Chorus]
And this machine is dying
And this machine is dying
And this machine is dying
And this is the end of this machine
[Outro]
And perhaps we can safely believe
That somehow we can care for our deeds
And perhaps we can kneel with our backs to the sea
Start greasing the joints of this machine
