Useful Machine

[Verse 1]
Perched atop the shoulders of a stepfather
Frozen rocks floating in a glass of pink lemonade
Ominous, I think the writing's in the room
I give up on understanding anything

[Chorus]
And I watched him grow wings
And tear apart the fabric and the scenery between
He ached to be a useful machine
He ached to be a useful machine
Do you know what I mean?

[Verse 2]
Button up, it's time to put your blazers on
Glamorous, it sizzles like the pavement on bare feet
Hit me up whenever you are back in town again
'Cause he gave up on believing in anything, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And I watched him grow wings
And tear apart the fabric and the scenery between
He ached to be a useful machine
He ached to be a useful machine
Do you know what I mean?
And I heard a heathen sing
And dance upon the balconies of palaces unseen
He ached to be a useful machine
He ached to be a useful machine
Do you know what I mean?
