Where Machines Dream Lyrics

Too many nights, this last year, you'd come to me

And take me by the hand

And each time you appeared to me

You'd pretend to understand

The measure and the level of our temporal exchange

I'd wake at dawn, they'd linger on

The smell and taste of you

Desolate and strange

It was with chants and incantations

That I summoned forth a ghost

While Goldmund and Narcissus

Raised tequilas in a toast

Til one fell upon the other in an orgy of despair

Next, engorged with blood and wine, and freshly shod and clothed

He took a purse of coins

And left Narcissus bleeding there

We we've tattooed these songs beneath our eyes

How many years now, living with the lies we've told

The things we stole

The joy extractions

The hurt that gave us sweet distraction

Eternal, there now forever

Forever unredeemed

Where machines dream

Here in the Dream Machine
