lyrics

It splits me at the seams
each time I hear that grinding metal scream.
Spitting out that smoke and steam,
I got no choice but to dance
with the machine

The temple's been assembled with a thousand stones
It's empty as a man moves his cardboard home
He sits at the steps for he knows damn well
that those doors are closed

There's a fast-flowing, ever-loving, spilling stream,
for centuries seen she runs cool and clean,
now polluted with a couple hundred years of greed

There's a language I can't quite understand,
it spins from the gears of the modern man
and it burns my ears, it ties my hands.
There's a language I can't quite understand,
it spins from the gears of the modern man,
and it'll burn my tongue,
and it ties my hands.

A shaman's advertising on a neon sign,
boiling his brew over an electric fire.
He tells me that this tradition is old as the sun

Coyote and raven traded in
their spirit powers for the city of sin,
now they're digging for salvation in the garbage bins.

There's a language I can't quite understand,
it spins from the gears of the modern man
and it burns my lips, it ties my hands.
There's a language I can't quite understand,
it spins from the gears of the modern man,
and it'll burn these words,
and it ties my hands.

Dance with the machine...
