My Body Is a Dying Machine (Live) - Final

My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key I'm standing on a stage Of fear and self-doubt It's a hollow play But they'll clap anyway My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key You're standing next to me My mind holds the key I'm living in an age That calls darkness light Though my language is dead Still the shapes fill my head I'm living in an age Whose name I don't know Though the fear keeps me moving Still my heart beats so slow My body is a cage That keeps me from dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key You're standing next to me My mind holds the key My body is a... My body is a cage We take what we're given Just because you've forgotten That don't mean you're forgiven I'm living in an age that Screams my name at night But when I get to the doorway There's no one in sight I'm living in an age They laugh when I'm dancing with the one I love But my mind holds the key You're standing next to me My mind holds the key Set my spirit free Set my spirit free Set my body free Set my body free Set my spirit free Set my body free

I'm gonna be released from behind these lies And I don't care whether I live or die And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones And I don't want your heart it leaves me cold I don't want your future I don't need your past One bright moment Is all I ask I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) Said I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me, pulling me down) I don't need a husband, don't need no wife And don't need the day, I don't need the night And I don't need the birds let them fly away And I don't want the crowds, they never seem to stay I don't want no future I don't need no past One bright moment Is all I ask I don't want your future I don't need your past One bright moment Is all I ask I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) Said I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my, lose my mind (History keeps pulling me, pulling me down) Pulling me down Pulling me down Pulling me down Pulling me, pulling me down I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) Said I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me, pulling me down) Yeah, said I'm gonna leave my body (Moving up to higher ground) I'm gonna lose my mind (History keeps pulling me down) (Moving up to higher ground) (History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)

It was the summer I Learned to love politics And Elliott Smith 'cause you did Swinging in the backyard Wind in my hair and words You're playing it cool like a kid But I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night Once in a lifetime You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose Be the artist to my muse I think dying is a beautiful thing to do By your side I bleed on paper so the Fact of the fiction is alive on the page when I'm gone Coming undone in dark corridors We're catching our breath just for a moment And I could waste all of my timе in between the lines 'Causе I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night Once in a lifetime You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose Be the artist to my muse I think dying is a beautiful thing to do By your side Every movement in my rear view And every place in reference to you If nothing else, can I be your regret? Years from now I'm the kind of girl that you write songs about Mystery you can't get out your head before you sleep at night Once in a lifetime You're taking pictures you can't bear to lose Be the artist to my muse I think dying is a beautiful thing to do By your side
