Drum Machine Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's so complicated

The way that we talk all night

Then you hang up the phone

When things don't seem right



Overly outdated

The way you never stay the night

You want to keep me

But you like the fight



All this time I've waited

Trying to tell wrong from right

Keep my composure

Waiting for the green light



[Chorus]

I just want to know you number, baby

I just want to know where you live

I want to cut straight to the answer

Before I even know what the question is



[Verse 2]

Take my heart and place it

Inside a box for me

Kick drum in the basement

Perfect clarity



All my love is wasted

Inside of drum machines

Me inside the grid

And the grid in me



I just keep on racing

Trying to keep the clock in line

Fading in and out

You don't have perfect timing



[Chorus]

I just want to know you number, baby

I just want to know where you live

I want to cut straight to the answer

Before I even know what the question is



[Bridge]

It takes a machine

To reset the dream

Our love is asleep

But you'll call me later anyway



I'll follow the tide

The shore will decide

If I live or I die

Wouldn't have it any other way



We'll take a sabbatical

Wouldn't it be magical?

You're always so practical

But I don't I want you to change



[Chorus]

I just want to know you number, baby

I just want to know where you live

I want to cut straight to the answer

Before I even know what the question is



I just want to know what you've been thinking lately

I just want to know what gives

I want to cut straight to the answer

Before I even know what the question is



I just want to know you number, baby

I just want to know where you live

I want to cut straight to the answer

Before I even know what the question is
