lyrics

I’ve been sleeping on splinters and shards
They’re getting in the spokes of my mechanical parts
And I’ve stopped working
And I’ve stopped working

I plucked a planet from the atmosphere
I snapped it from its orbit and I pulled it near
So I’d stop spinning
So I’d stop spinning

I’d like to take my organs of metal and brass
I’d melt them down down down into a golden basket
For you to carry carry carry those feelings I hear humans have
I’d give them all to you

I’ve been giving my neighbors a fright
The grinding of my gears has kept them up all night
But I’ve stopped caring
But I’ve stopped caring

‘Cause I’ve been waiting by my windowsill
To watch you in the morning walking down my hill
But you’ve stopped coming
But you’ve stopped coming

I’d like to take my organs of metal and brass
I’d melt the down down down into a golden basket
For you to carry carry carry those feelings I hear humans have
I’d give them all to you

I wanna rip out all my wires but I’m afraid I’d combust
I wanna cry on the floor for you but I’m afraid I’d rust
Please don’t blame me dear
Just blame my engineer

I’d like to take my organs of metal and brass
I’d melt the down down down into a golden basket
For you to carry carry carry those feelings I hear humans have
I’d give them all to you
