[E] [Eb]
[E]
[Am] [B]
I found the bones [E] of all your ghosts
[Em] locked in the wishing well
[Am] While Bertrand Gourmet dragged empty nets I [Em] slumbered in my shell
In
[A] my t'nac, [E] the man's machina kissed me on my eyes
[F] My rosin left the violins [Em] blowing lowly in the night
[Am] With all the pornographers [A] burning torches
[E] Beneath [A] the sea
[Em] I want to [G] be [F] a machine
[G] I [Em] want to be a [F] machine
[G] [Em] I [E] want to be a [F] machine
[G]
[Em] I want to [E] be a machine
[B] I stole a [E] cathode phase from used cars [Em] and a crumbling fugue of salt
[E] From [Am] the reservoir [F] of video sold [E] in the lakes beneath my tongue
[Am] In flash of ash on [A] silent [E] movies I walked at boulevards again
[Am] On evian art of unfinished creatures from [E] the [Em] lifetimes of my friends
[F]
[Am] Your innocence [E]
[Em] [A] has been free
Beneath [E] the sea
I [Em] want to be [F] [G]
[Em] [E] a machine

[F] [G] [E]
[F] [Em]
Broadcast me, scrambled clean, or free me from this flesh
[Am] Let the on-care cannibals take their fill [Em] in every cell across wilderness
We'll [B] trip such a strangled [A] tango
[E] We'll [Em] waltz a wonderland affair
Let's [Am] run to meet the tide
Let tomorrow [E] cleave all emotion
Dying there on [Am] the starboard
Beyond [E] all [A] of your dreams
[Em] I want to be [F] a [E] machine
