The mechanical wonder is, it's just a noise in my room
And I'm chasing the wonder and it's just a hole in my tune
And the radio plays but it, but it don't sing a song
And the mechanical thunder is what is all going wrong
And I walk down the road and I, I awake in a tune
But the mechanical thunder is, it's just a noise in my roomAnd we rode it once on a thundering night
So I walk with you where the locks take flightAll machines make our lives today and I like them the best
But the mechanical thunder is, it's just a noise in my head
And the radio plays at me but it don't sing a song
But the mechanical wonder is, ah, it's all going wrongAnd they rode it once on a thundering night
So I walk with you where the larks take flight
And we keep on through, it's where the road don't roar
Where the farm once stood, where the union crawls, big timeTheir machines that I'm walking from, though they play in the songs
And the dreams that your holding on don't run for so long
So I'm hiding machines away but I keep them for you
But the things that you wanna say, it's just a noise in my room
And I look at the picture now and there's a weight on us all
But the mechanical wonder is, it's a cure one and allAnd they rode it once on a thundering night
So I walk with you where the locks take flight
And we keep on through, it's where the road don't roar
Where the farm once stood, where the union crawls, big time
