Gary Numan - My Dying Machine (William Orbit Mix) Lyrics






Why give orders?
Why give speeches?

No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear

I can feel they're here
I can feel the cold
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down

If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you.

Why give orders?
And why make speeches?
Give me a reason to stay

This dying machine
I can hear me scream
I've nowhere to run
I've nowhere to hide

I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

Why give orders?
And why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die

This shape comes apart
Everything breaks down
And me, I'm trapped inside
And here inside it ends.

There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do now
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why.

    Excellent song from an excellent album--it's too bad he doesn't play this song live anymore. =(

  3. S.... M....

    Couldn't you find a 'Berserker' picture. What's with the 'Metal Rhythm' picture?

    S.... M....

    This version appears on the New Anger release.

  4. M.... M....

    I'm a Numanoid and William is family so can't argue with their collaboration. Not a good song to work on though i have to say.

  5. n.... ....

    This shape comes apart
    Everything breaks down
    And me, I'm trapped inside
    And here inside it ends.
