The mechanical wonder is

It's just a noise in my room

And I'm chasing the wonder and

It's just a hole in my tune

And the radio plays but it

But it don't sing a song

And the mechanical thunder is

What is all going wrong

And I walk down the road and I

I awake in a tune

But the mechanical thunder is

It's just a noise in my room

And we rode it once

On a thundering night

So I walk with you

Where the locks take flight

All machines make our lives today

And I like them the best

But the mechanical thunder is

It's just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me

But it don't sing a song

But the mechanical wonder is

Ah, it's all going wrong

And they rode it once

On a thundering night

So I walk with you

Where the locks take flight

And we keep on through

It's where the road don't roar

Where the farm once stood

Where the union crawls, big time

The machines that I'm walking from

Though they play in the songs

And the dreams that your holding on

Don't run for so long

So I'm hiding machines away

But I keep them for you

But the things that you want to say

It's just a noise in my room

And I look at the picture now

And there's a weight on us all

But the mechanical wonder is

It's a cure one and all
