Lost in the arms of the patchwork universe, pregnant egg yolk sun the morning sky
The decades bleed into one another as I think about you and me
Flying insects, beautiful machines describe complex arcs around my bed
Locked in the dark of a beautiful dream, oh love
My heart don't beat for you, my heart just beats along
And if you ever leave me, my heart will just carry on
Opalescent clockwork moon, windy rim of the canyon
The stars are in array and they're singing your name in a language I can't understand
As cities burn, as satellites flash piece by piece through the evening sky
Mercury is on the rise with rumors of a coming war
The stars are falling in your eyes, oh love
Oh love and beautiful machines
Oh love and beautiful machines, alright
I got all tangled up inside your silvery parts
And I cannot extricate my little mangled heart
Oh you, just like a dream, oh love and beautiful machines
Things are not what they may seem, oh love and beautiful machines
My heart don't beat for you, my heart just beats along
And if you ever leave me, my heart will just carry on
