You've been rehabilitated and rewired
Re-educated, done what’s required
My illness and my action
My fabulous attraction
My kerosene candle
My gun without a handle

You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
Like the best machines, you're cold

You’re coming up and you beg for more
You're coming up and you're feeling sore
You're coming up like a broken ghost
You're coming up for your daily dose

You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
You're a hard machine that's cold

You’re a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
And a hard machine that’s cold
Your united hates will call
To the biggest hurt of all
While an empty debt it paid
In the tortured truth today

On a night train with the ever lose
Like a dull, delightful, spreading bruise
All my sins must be saved
I've got a God but I can’t behave

You're coming up and you beg for more
You're coming up and you're feeling sore
You’re coming up like a broken ghost
You're coming up for your daily dose

You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
You're a hard machine that's cold

I want a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
To do just what it's told
A hard machine to love
To do just what it's told
I want a hard machine
To do just what it's told
I want a hard machine
To do just what it's told
I want a hard machine
To do just what it's told
I want a hard machine
