The mechanical wonder is, it's just a noise in my room   And I'm chasing the wonder and it's just a hole in my tune   And the radio plays but it, but it don't sing a song   And the mechanical thunder is what is all going wrong   And I walk down the road and I, I awake in a tune   But the mechanical thunder is, it's just a noise in my room      And we rode it once on a thundering night   So I walk with you where the locks take flight      All machines make our lives today and I like them the best   But the mechanical thunder is, it's just a noise in my head   And the radio plays at me but it don't sing a song   But the mechanical wonder is, ah, it's all going wrong      And they rode it once on a thundering night   So I walk with you where the locks take flight   And we keep on through, it's where the road don't roar   Where the farm once stood, where the union crawls, big time      Their machines that I'm walking from, though they play in the songs   And the dreams that your holding on don't run for so long   So I'm hiding machines away but I keep them for you   But the things that you wanna say, it's just a noise in my room   And I look at the picture now and there's a weight on us all   But the mechanical wonder is, it's a cure one and all      And they rode it once on a thundering night   So I walk with you where the locks take flight   And we keep on through, it's where the road don't roar   Where the farm once stood, where the union crawls, big time
