Extraordinary Machine lyrics

[Verse 1]

I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes

- And -

I certainly haven't been spreading myself around

I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb

But I'm good at being uncomfortable so

I can't stop changing all the time

[Verse 2]

I noticed that my opponent is always on the go

- And -

Won't go slow, so 's not to focus, and I notice

He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as

They go fast from whence he came

But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so

He can't stop staying exactly the same

[Chorus]

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

[Verse 3]

I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day

You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay

I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say

I've been getting along for long before you came into the play

[Verse 4]

I am the baby of the family, it happens, so

Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes

While they chaperone

Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease

Courteous, to try and help

But let me set your mind at ease

[Chorus]

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

[Bridge]

Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?

It's very kind

But it's to no avail; and I don't want the bail

I promise you, everything will be just fine

[Chorus]

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

If there was a better way to go then it would find me

I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me

Be kind to me, or treat me mean

I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
