The Machine Stops
(M. King/P. Gould/W. Badarou)
-------------------------------------------

I found the air

down here in the chambers
you warned me of danger
but I want to stop this - for a moment
there must be someone - in the open

waiting for the starlight
rendezvous at midnight
I want to touch them - and to love them
and we'll be there - when it's over

all the love we'll never know
the machine has got control

can you hear the voices
calling out the choices
spend a lifetime - going nowhere
the machine stops - and it's over

all the love we'll never know
the machine has got control

I found the air

the machine stops
