Ultravox: "I Want to Be A Machine"
(Am/F = x02211)
Am/F
I found the bones of all your ghosts
Em
Locked in the wishing well
Fmaj7
While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
G
I slumbered in my shell
Am/F
In mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
Em
Kissed me on my eyes
Fmaj7
I rose and left the fire-ladies
G
Glowing lonely in the night
Fmaj7
With all the pornographers
Em A
Burning torches beneath the sea
Chorus:
Em F G
I want to be a machine
Em F G
I want to be a machine
Em F G
I want to be a machine
Em
I want to be a machine
Am/F
I stole a cathode face from newscasts
Em
And a crumbling fugue of songs
Fmaj7
From the reservoir of video souls
G
In the lakes beneath my tongue
Am/F
In flesh of ash and silent movies
Em
I walked at boulevards again
Fmaj7
A nebula of unfinished creatures
G
From the lifetimes of my friends
Fmaj7 Em A
I hope your innocence has depraved me
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Am/F
Broadcast me, scrambled clean
Em
Or free me from this flesh
Fmaj7
Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
G
In every cell across wilderness
Am/F
We'll trip such a strangled tango
Em
We'll waltz a wonderland affair
Fmaj7
Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow
G
Leave all emotion dying there
Fmaj7 Em A
In the star cold beyond all of your dreams
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Ah!
