Broken Machine - Steve Lukather

Of rags and bones

Rusty old wheels on a cobblestone street

Everything I own

Follows me round like a ghost that won’t leave me alone

Even sticks and stones

Can’t leave a mark on this spirit

Eel

Have you really grown

When you come back bleeding from your love torn battles

Wish I could feel bad for you

Or sympathize after all I’ve been through

I’m not as strong as I seem

While your heart is beating

I’ve got this broken machine

Those days have gone

Took so long just to pick myself up, and try to walk alone

No more afraid to let the sun stare at my face

See what you have done

Nuts, bolts and parts of dark days of broken dreams

Take so long to replace

As for your falling apart at the seams

Wish I could feel bad for you

Or sympathize after all I’ve been through

How come you’re not as you seem

You’ve got your problems

Your self-esteem

Wish I could feel bad for you

Or feel anything after all I’ve been through

I’m not as strong as I seem

While your heart is beating

I’ve got this broken

Machine
