So waste my time
And ask me questions
For I'm not here
I'm not real
It's just the sound of the machine
A clock that's ticking away
Counting down the hours
As we lie still
So don't ask me
Why I do this to myself
I've got no self-control
Well if it happens to me
It could happen to you
So throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There's only so much I can take
So throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There's only so much I can take
So throw me a rope
When we wake up
Will it be over?
What will you friends believe?
So take your cameras out
It's just the sound of the machine
My heart is ticking away
Counting down the hours
As we lie still
So throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There's only so much I can take
Throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There's only so much I can take
So throw me a rope
(It's the sound of, it's the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's just the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's the sound of the machine)
(It's the sound of, it's just the sound of the machine)
So don't ask me
Why I do this to myself
I've got no self-control
Well if it happens to me
It could happen to you
So throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There's only so much I can take
Throw me a rope
Throw it down
Lift my feet right off the ground
Cut me loose
Give me a break
There's only so much I can take
So throw me a rope
