Machines And Men

Intro: verse 1 1990, our bodies were mighty Practically brand new Until 1992, we scraped our knees Knocked off a tooth in 1994 From falling to the floor We were climbing our trees Refrain 1 We pedaled fast on our bicycles And we got our wounds from Tumbling hard on the ground As children, we were made to mess around Back then our bodies were so restless And our bones used to be kind And our muscles seemed to be so strong And our limbs were so connected Neurons coursing through our minds But our parts are getting in and going wrong We were younger then Now decaying machines and men verse 2 1998, our bodies were so, so great And we rode our roller skates so well Twisted an ankle to a frightening tumble We called upon angels to fix this up 'Cause we swore to never tell Refrain 2 As we got older, we crashed a car And we got our scars from our duel with death Blood and bone and fainted breath Back then our bodies were so restless And our bones used to be kind And our muscles seemed to be so strong And our limbs were so connected Neurons coursing through our minds But our parts are getting in and going wrong We were younger then Now decaying machines and men Bridge Men, men Men, Me----en, Behold this sagging skin And these fragile ribs that's caging in My lungs and soul Help me to get in if there's a heaven 'Cause it's better than this life I'm told Every breath I'm struggling And I can't remember how it felt not to be this old Please just get me in if there's a heaven And our bodies were so restless And our bones used to be kind And our muscles seemed to be so strong And our limbs were so connected Neurons coursing through our minds But our parts are getting in and going wrong We were younger then Now decaying machines and men Outro Just that peek like locked in heads Two blossoms worn in red Machines and men Knew this'd come, let this be said Life hangs loosely by a thread Just that peek like locked in heads Two blossoms worn in red The back rolls over, rest your head Final hours far in bed
