A Machine Spiritual (in The People's Key) Lyrics - Bright Eyes

The people's key 

Ringing through arena seats 

The black machine 

Played it all from memory 

A fever dream 

Well, I'll come back eventually 

To wade into the water 

Another and another 

We go 

Form some kind of code 

The bodies float 

And form some kind of code 

The bodies float 

Someone's out to know 

Papa hobo 

Don't hide your eyes 

Mother mountain 

Don't kill your unborn child 

His day is coming 

His day is coming 

A question burns 

Beneath the centuries of dirt 

That voice you've heard 

Well, every head's a different world 

Well, mine's concerned 

I boarded up the windows 

A catatonic plateau 

A backwards black-faced minstrel show 

So just let me go 

The prisoner moans 

Oh, just let me go 

The prisoner moans 

No one has to know 

Eva Braun went to dye her hair 

Little Hitler sighs in his giant's chair 

And dreamed of nowhere 

And dreamed of nowhere 

And dreamed 

The people's key 

Ringing filling everything 

The theme repeats 

Thinner than the galaxy 

Impart to me 

Your wisdom and eventually 

I'll float into the ether 

Another from another 

We grow 

Form some kind of code 

Of flesh and bone 

We form some kind of code 

Of flesh and bone 

No, you're not alone 

History bows and it steps aside 

In the jungle there's columns of purple light 

We're starting over 

We're starting over 

We're starting 

We're starting
