lyrics

This machine is a positive action machine
There’s no regretting from now on

And this machine’s hell bent on heaven
Or whatever else that you do for fun
This machine can play “100,000 Fireflies” for you
Or “The House of the Rising Sun.”

This machine
Was privileged enough to know you some in private
This machine knows you’re complex
This machine has traded on experience and all the jokes it knows to Make you smile
And offer up your love

This machine’s hell bent on heaven
Or whatever facsimile you’ve got
This machine’s prone to explosions
Yes you know that this machine runs hot

This machine’s hell-bent on heaven
Or whatever facsimile you’ve got
This machine wants all the favors in the world called in and stacked up
By the piles of shoulds and oughts

And I know you cried
I know I said a lot of things to hurt your ego
And I know your heart got broken
But a heart’s a puzzle we can solve
If the right combination of words can get spoken

And this machine’s hell bent on heaven
Or whatever else that you do for fun
This machine can play “100,000 fireflies”
But this machine needs you to run
At least your memory. this machine needs you to run
