Gary Numan
My Dying Machine (12" Version)
[Intro]
Why give orders?
Why give speeches?

[Verse 1]
No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear
No more questions
No more answers
All that’s left is the fear

I can feel they're here
I can feel the cold
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down

[Pre-Chorus]
If I had a picture
I could say it’s all for you

[Chorus]
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to stay
[Verse 2]
This dying machine
I can hear me scream
I've nowhere to run
I've nowhere to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

[Chorus]
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die

[Pre-Chorus]
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

[Chorus]
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
[Verse 3]
This shape comes apart
Everything breaks down
And me, I'm trapped inside
And here inside it ends

[Bridge]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do now
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

[Chorus]
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
