My Body Is A Machine

[Verse 1]
And I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me
Washed my face in the cracked sink, walked a stained carpet
Kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street
The trip home as it always was and always will be
It was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth
When I quit smoking, I run out of good reasons to leave the house

[Pre-Chorus]
And the day breaks the skyline like it's not even there
Gotta get as quick as I can back to safe, warm nowhere

[Chorus]
And this isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly
And I need to remember that my body's a machine
My body's a machine

[Verse 2]
And you look so tiny and scared in the kitchen
Doing the dishes on your little tippy-toes
I remember, before the wreckage
I swung your arms from side to side
Danced a waltz on the kitchen tiles
And the last time that I touched you
Would be when I brushed your shoulder
In the corridor of our old house
We kicked and screamed about
Whether I was gonna get my bunk back
But what I was really saying was I still loved you
And you were screaming, "Get the fuck out of my house"

[Pre-Chorus]
And the day breaks the skyline like it's not even there
Gotta get as quick as I can back to safe, warm nowhere

[Chorus]
And this isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly
And I need to remember that my body's a machine
My body's a machine

[Verse 3]
You said it was just another thing that you never explained to me
I was pit-walking a median strip near my parents house
And going about sixty
And I flew for the first and only time in my life

[Outro]
If they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they
They hit me, if they
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they hit me
They hit me, if they
