Verse
The mechanical wonder is
Is just a noise in my room
And I’m chasing the wonder and
its just a hole in my tune (SECOND GUITAR PLAYS RIFF 2 HERE)
And the radio plays but it
But it don’t sing a song
The mechanical thunder is
What is all going on (AND HERE)
And I walk down the road
And I awake in a tune
And the mechanical thunder is
Just a noise in my room
(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)
Chorus
And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I’ll walk with you
Where the locks take flight
(second riff again after chorus)
All 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
Ah, it’s all going wrong
And they rode it once
On a thundering night
So I walk with you
Where the locks take flight
And we keep on through
It’s where the road don’t roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time
(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)
The machines that I’m walking from
Though they play in the songs
And the dreams that your holding on
Don’t run for so long
So I’m hiding machines away
But I keep them for you
But the things that you want to say
It’s 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
And we rode it once
On a thundering night
So I walk with you
Where the locks take flight
And we keep on through
It’s where the road don’t roar
Where the farm once stood
Where the union crawls, big time
