Gary Numan & Tubeway Army The Machman
I saw him turn on like a machine in the park
Saying, "Please come with me" but you've been there before
I saw him whirr away into the night
Like a nightmare on wheels saying, "Never again"
I'd give it all up for you
I'd even be a number just for you
The strangest living boy
You could ever wish to see
That's me
Yellowed newspapers tell the story of someone
'Do you know this man?', tomorrow the cure
Only police ever see night time for real
Turn on the light and cry 'no more, no more'
I was standing outside your door
Waiting for the gray men to go
When my mind turned on me
With a vengeance I had never known
My own
Everyone heard the voice on the radio
Saying, "Why move around and waste my time?"
There are no Independents anymore
The tape is a circle but who really cares?
I saw you behind the wall
I even heard you laugh at me
You disgust me tonight
With your answer to something new
That's you
