I Want To Be A Machine


Ultravox: "I Want to Be A Machine" (Am/F = x02211) Am/F I found the bones of all your ghosts Em Locked in the wishing well Fmaj7 While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets G I slumbered in my shell Am/F In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine Em Kissed me on my eyes Fmaj7 I rose and left the fire-ladies G Glowing lonely in the night Fmaj7 With all the pornographers Em A Burning torches beneath the sea Chorus: Em F G I want to be a machine Em F G I want to be a machine Em F G I want to be a machine Em I want to be a machine Am/F I stole a cathode face from newscasts Em And a crumbling fugue of songs Fmaj7 From the reservoir of video souls G In the lakes beneath my tongue Am/F In flesh of ash and silent movies Em I walked at boulevards again Fmaj7 A nebula of unfinished creatures G From the lifetimes of my friends Fmaj7 Em A I hope your innocence has depraved me (Chorus) Em F G ... Am/F Broadcast me, scrambled clean Em Or free me from this flesh Fmaj7 Let the armchair cannibals take their fill G In every cell across wilderness Am/F We'll trip such a strangled tango Em We'll waltz a wonderland affair Fmaj7 Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow G Leave all emotion dying there Fmaj7 Em A In the star cold beyond all of your dreams (Chorus) Em F G ... Ah!
