Ballad of the big machine lyrics

Baby I'm tired, I'm tired of you

You never go where I want you to

Just like smoke, just like wind

You escape to the big machine

I don't like what I see.

Why don't you want to dance with me?

At the end of the day,

I will catch you anyway.

In this world nothing's real.

All you see just happens in your head.

Just like a dream,

A very long night.

Don't get me wrong,

This time I'm here for you.

For you…

Baby please let me in,

I can swear my hands are clean.

You can fight but you can't win,

Cause you belong to the big machine.

In this world nothing's real.

All you see just happens in your head.

Just like a dream,

A very long night.

Don't get me wrong,

This time I'm here for you.

For you…

Oh je sens toute ta peine,

Tu n'en vois pas le bout.

Laisse-moi prendre ta place,

Ou j'en deviendrai fou.

Baby please let me in,

I can swear my hands are clean.
