it's so quiet and dark and i shouldn't be here
this machine won't last for always

just my steel friend and me i stand brave by his side
this machine is all i live for

i can see in your eyes you're not so sure about me
this machine is my voice please listen

it's so noisy and bright and i just love being here
this machine will last for my life
