lyrics

rescue me, go on and rescue me,
go on and rescue me from these locks & gallows
rescue me, go on and rescue me,
go on and rescue me from this fortune-telling machiiiiiiiine

cos these gears are grinding meeeeeee
and this steel's been blinding me

rescue me, we act so desperately,
no one's confessed to me how to hide from your wanting
your tarot cards all look like fake IDs
oh, let's eat our young in this fortune-telling machiiiiiiine

cos these gears are grinding meeeeeee
and this steel's been blinding me

rescue me, let's build a vanguard queen
her squeaking serpentine GO ON AND FUCK HER RUST HOLES
if we build this town by breakin bolts & screens
I'll throw up both my hands, this is just what happens to meeeeee

oh this is just what happens to meeeeeee
so go on let it happen

forgive us, please, for acting desperately
we love incestuously, we have for centuries
let's go back centuries, let's go back centuries
let's go back centuries to that fortune-telling machiiiiiiiine

that broken time machiiiiiiiiiine

Ripped from the Roots Terre Haute, Indiana

Hoosier rust-folk titty babies with guitars
too happy to sing the blues but too sad to shut the fuck up
