Mechanical swan It's the image we build To make the pain inside Explain a usefull kill Mechanical swan It's the future of mind Turning you outside in In search of thrills of a perfect kind You show me how the essence of beauty divides into perfection With your face deep inside the diamond Mechanical swan It's the part we play To leave the odd man out Exclude a different way Mechanical swan It's the promise we made Turning you inside out As you wait for a perfect trade You show me how the essence of life is always in control With your heart deep inside the machine The spotlight's on A door opens The shadow thrown across the wall A sudden silence except for a noise from the doorway A clicking sound growing louder Each click made by metal scratching against the floor Even the smallest children are staring obsessively towards the light And in comes the swan With gestures so mild She's got no name and she's got a phoney heart But it doesn't matter Cause she's got enough beauty for everyone And the swan points her finger to the sky Talking so softly into the air No one could ever possibly hear the words And you know she's about to bleed And you know there will be no comfort against As the swan waves goodbye Mechanical swan It's the perfect kind Mechanical swan It's the perfect mind Mind build swan
