Maximo Park lyrics : "Our Velocity"

I'm not a man, I'm a machine
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books, I never read

And then I'll tell you some more about me

Beneath the concrete there's a sound

A muffled cry below the ground
There is a poison in the air
A mix of chemicals and fear


My words are just hunches
I'm not sure what they mean

You're asking for commitment
When I'm somewhere in between


Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel
At such speed

It's our velocity

Is it cold where you are this time of year

You didn't leave a scar

A stream of numbers hit a screen

And your expected to know what they mean
Throughout the conflict I was serene
I can't out-run the sadness I've seen


Are you willing to resist
From people you've never met

The devils wheel revolves
But it needs to be reset


Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel
At such speed

It's our velocity

Please tell me

Is it cold where you are this time of year
You didn't leave a scar


I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts


I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore

I'm just alone with my thoughts

I watched a film to change my feelings

Strong enough to bare a burden

If everyone became this sensitive

I wouldnt have to be so sensitive
If everyone became so sensitive
Perhaps I wouldnt be so sensitive


Love is a lie which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie which means I've been lying too

Love is a lie which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie


I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts


I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore

I'm just alone with my thoughts

Never, never try to gauge temperature

When you tend to travel
At such speed
It's our velocity
