There's a wind outside the wall
that could blow straight through it
and take you away from me
There's a pilot light in the basement, burning
that could erupt so easily
Your car is unsafe
it could kill you a million ways
leave you scattered in pieces on the interstate
and the other night I saw you walk out the front door
in the dark with your headphones on
These machines that we breathe
that we work inside and clean
that we wall up between ourselves and everything
they fight for your attention when you should be focused in
and they will never keep you safe
There's an operating force
that's always out to get you
It's always been and can't be seen
but it won't lose sight of you
There's the calculated fact
that all of us are doomed
we've always tried to disprove it
but it's never not been true
But I look at you and you're wearing
hardly anything at all
These machines that we breathe
that we work inside and clean
that we wall up between ourselves and everything
they fight for your attention when you should be focused in
and they will never keep you safe
There's a catastrophic end
that you are just beginning and
the choices made from now till then
are already all wrong already all wrong
These machines that we breathe
that we work inside and clean
that we wall up between ourselves and everything
they fight for your attention when you should be focused in
and they will never keep you safe
This is becoming one of my all-time favorite live albums. Outstanding setlist of some of her best songs, the band on point, and just a beautiful performance. jae
