Machine

Magdalene walks alone
Diamonds mirroring her mind as she sulks beside the sun
Never seen a woman come undone and stay so composed
She kissed me soft and sweetly, holds a rose just like a gun

But I don’t want to love you, honey
I just want to be your machine
Nothing to see, babe
When the lights are on

But I don’t want to love you, honey
I just want to be your machine
Nothing to see, babe
When the lights are on

Magdalene moves like the rain
Her fingers trembling with grace as she traces lines of stars
The light of her eyes electrified in her face
She cries like mercury, angel lavender and lace

But I don’t want to love you, honey
I just want to be your machine
Nothing to see, babe
When the lights are on

But I don’t want to love you, honey
I just want to be your machine
Nothing to see, babe
When the lights are on

So come to me when no one’s watching
Magdalene, do what you want
Soldier night comes steady marching
Girl, I’m ready to go
Ain’t nobody gotta know

But I don’t want to love you, honey
I just want to be your machine
Nothing to see, babe
When the lights are on

But I don’t want to love you, honey
I just want to be your machine
Nothing to see, babe
When the lights are on
