The Amazing Machine that Does Not Work (Demo Version)

Somewhere, we'll meet
Some blue-stoned back street
Some black-and-white scene
Just you, and me
And the amazing machine that does not work
In separate lives, the gentle hum of post-war
For you and I
We're happy here in the sun

I followed you around
I followed you around inside of my head
I packed up my bags and unpacked them again

We know this place, yeah
We've been there before
You'll find our names
They're scratched into the wall
We’ll be the last ones out of the door
We could smell fire, but we didn't shout
We're down with the ship, and we're over and out
Singing along with the countdown

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

A big mistake to talk like there's no tomorrow
And then it came
We hope, sometimes, when hopes aren’t so heavy that
The bird can't fly
We'll see again
I wanted to show her
All of the disorder
I wanted to take her hand and stagger towards it

We know this place
Yeah, we've seen it before
Look at our names
They're scratched into the wall
We were the last ones out of the door
We could smell fire, but we didn't shout
We're down with the ship and we're over and out
Singing along with the countdown

Yeah, we're singing along

You and me, we were as thick as thieves
We were trying to steal the same thing
