Cut And Dried

Cut And Dried
the things that scare me most
are the things that i know least about
like love and death and being alone
and some things i don't talk about
baby says to me to be as happy as can be
she needs " [ a ] little help
from her friends"
and she says "oh yes, but
i still love you"
and that's all very well, but
where does it all end?

cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
should i leave this burning ship
or should i stand on the deck 'til the end?
oh i can choose it either way i will lose
but at least on that i can depend
so how can i care for you
when you won't even care for yourself?
all i need is just some little way out
that's not so bad for my health
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
