The Love Machine slips through the air
The Love Machine pummels down the alley
Churning meat and churning meat
The Love Machine tears open the womb
I spotted you there, you turned to me and smiled
The Love Machine went screaming by
I saw you standing where you've always been
Under the bright blue painless sky
You tore your chest open for me
You split the heavens in two
I broke through and saw you up in your balcony window
You waved as the parade floated by
I saw your smile float across the heavens
And the Love Machine broke open the meat
It burst and dribbled out onto the surface of the cold panes of glass
And the Love Machine made the meat break onto the frozen glass
Tiny frozen beads of blood rolling away
The meat will ooze; the flesh secretes
And the Love Machine broke up into the sky
The meat oozes all over, it's swelling in the flesh
And the Love Machine tumbles down the street
You smile at the sunshine, it's a beautiful day
Breathe in the morning and the Love Machine
Tears the flesh from your bones
It's a beautiful day
You bitch, I spoke to you again today
And the Love Machine tore down the clouds
You tore open your womb for me
You split your face and cried bloody tears down the front of your vest
You bled real tears down your milky brown breasts
And the Love Machine burst through the flesh and tore open the muscle
And ground the meat against the walls of ivory
And the Love Machine presses the sweet flesh
And releases tiny droplets of blood onto the frozen windows
Raw nerves in the Love Machine
Broken flesh in the hulls of the Love Machine
You burst and bleed from your eyes and your bosom
You die for me in the Love Machine
You tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
You tear your soul off and your arms and legs too
And you tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
And you tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
And you tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
And you tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
And you tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
And you tear yourself apart for me in the Love Machine
And you...
