Clean Machine

Did I just close my eyes and tell you you're alright?
What I meant to say was please don't leave me tonight,
stay and talk about the future, where I'm headed
to be reborn as a clean machine.
And it's a hollow zen that comes with calling your name,
when I know you're not forever, not even for today.
But baby, I only want to know
how to get inside this city.
And baby, I only want to know
how to get inside that life.
Don't wanna be cooling down when I face that bright boy,
he can't know the shame,
can't know what it is to blame me for
those inchoate american dreams of a
future, where I'm headed
to knock them down like they were neverstanding,
and I swear it was all there
but then the seasons changed no less my understanding.
And baby, I only want to know
how to get inside this city.
And baby, I only want to know
how to get inside that life.
Where there's only time to ride clear on those illusions of soul-
like darling you'll never know how much I love you.
Na, that's all just commissions of beat, commissions of beat,
I heard it on a wire tipped morning where a silver toned spawning
of sky and lie and fire and all its cold desire
came dancing and started up it's singing with,
we can live forever down here;
and we can live forever now that we're here
