What are you
thinking of
What are you doing, What do you think you can do
There is what you are
what you do
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor
What do you mean
That's what you get
Did you forget to know what the end is
To begin
clearing
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor
Dream machine
Did you get everything you asked for
Dream machine
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor
The dance floor
The dance floor
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor
Love's rage
broken page
Electric lights and glass bone nights
Electric lines
run through your minds
Distractions with radio contraptions
Pipe ashes
night glasses
Tick tock hear the wind lick the window
Ignited
you're invited
Grow wings sprouting from the backbone
Dream machine
Mr. Jones you don't know what you came for
Dream machine
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor
The dance floor
The dance floor
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor
We are like those two mirrors
steaming in the rain
We are those two lovers
holding each other's hands
Dream with me
Dream with me
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor
