My Dying Machine — Gary Numan

Why give orders? Why give speeches?

No more questions No more answers All that's left is the fear

I can feel they're here I can feel the cold I can't fight for long This machine runs down

If I had a picture I could say it's all for you.

Why give orders? And why make speeches? Give me a reason to stay

This dying machine I can hear me scream I've nowhere to run I've nowhere to hide

I can only wonder I can only wonder why

Why give orders? And why make speeches? Give me a reason to die

This shape comes apart Everything breaks down And me, I'm trapped inside And here inside it ends.

There's nothing I can do There's nothing I can do now If I had a picture I could say it's all for you I can only wonder I can only wonder why.
