The mechanical wonder is It's just a noise in my room And I'm chasing the wonder and It's just a hole in my tune
And the radio plays but it But it don't sing a song And the mechanical thunder is What is all going wrong
And I walk down the road and I I awake in a tune But the mechanical thunder is It's just a noise in my room
And we rode it once On a thundering night So I'll walk with you Where the locks take flight
Oh machines make our lives today And I like them the best But the mechanical thunder is It's just a noise in my head
And the radio plays at me But it don't sing a song But the mechanical wonder is How it's all going wrong
And they rode it once On a thundering night So I'll walk with you Where the locks take flight And we'll keep on through It's where the road don't roar Where the farm once stood Where the union crawls, big time
They're machines that I'm walking from Though they play in the songs And the dreams that you're holding on Don't hold for so long
So I'm hiding machines away But I'll keep them for you But the things that you wanna say Is just a noise in my room
And I look at the picture now And there's a weight on us all But the mechanical wonder is It's a cure one and all
