Broken Talk lyrics

He's not a machine

But he's processing that code

Intermittent contacts

Arc as he overloads

You trust in fate

You trust in fate

He don't know

He don't sleep at night

And so he's getting ill

He's in a waking dream

(He's talking, broken talk)

(He's talking, broken talk)

(He's talking, broken talk)

Where does he come from?

He's got an itch that won't be scratched

Sometimes he guesses he might be wrong

Sometimes, guesses that he don't belong

He trusts in fate

He trusts in fate

He trusts in fate

But he checks out by days

Redeemer of coupons in a lonely mall

He don't know

He don't sleep at night

(He's talking, broken talk)

And so he's getting ill

He's in a waking dream

(He's talking, broken talk)

[?]

Getting ill

Shakes by the steady

Self-medicator

It may come too late

Detereorating

Will he recuperate

It may come too late

He trusts in fate

He trusts in fate

He don't know

He don't sleep at night

(He's talking, broken talk)

And so he's getting ill

He's in a waking dream

(He's talking, broken talk)

He don't know

He don't sleep at night

(He's talking, broken talk)

And so he's getting ill

He's in a waking dream

(He's talking, broken talk)

(He's talking, broken talk)

(He's talking, broken talk)
