The Underground Machine

Separate rooms and separate people
Satisfied and glad and gleeful
Everybody living down in the dark
Though nothing grows upon the surface
Don't you worry don't be nervous
Safe in isolated rooms underground
Your desires are a button away
You never have to leave
So relax as the machine
Gives you everything you need
Endless hours of "Entertainment"
Same discussions same arrangements
No need to ever be near anyone
All the world so disenchanted
Sanitised and automatic
I don't want to spend my life underground
As the cogs rust with the years
No one knows how long
As the gears begin to wear
And things start to go wrong
There's a sound you've always heard
Of humming engines near
But what happens when silence falls?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
In a million years there is no trace
Another rock floating through space
With everybody lying down in the dark

You spoke to me through a vail of gold
And you asked me to sell everything I owned
While at that time the telephone was ringing
I changed the locks and you let it go
And said to forget everything you know
Because the show is only just beginning
Leave me along Mr Phillips
I'm alright by myself
Please leave me be Mr Phillips
Or at least send somebody else
You brought it back where it was before
And promised me to speak no more
While at that time the kitchen floor was spinning
Leave me along Mr Phillips
I'm alright by myself
Please leave me be Mr Phillips
Or at least send somebody else
Leave me along Mr Phillips
I'm alright by myself
Please leave me be Mr Phillips
Or at least send somebody else
