You've been rehabilitated and rewired
Re-educated done what's required
My illness and my action, my fabulous attraction
My kerosene and candle, my gun without a handle

You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
Like the best machines you're cold

You're coming up and you beg for more
You're coming up and you're feeling sore
You're coming up like a broken ghost
You're coming up for your daily dose

You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
You're a hard machine that's cold
You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
And a hard machine that's cold

Your united hates will call
To the biggest hurt of all
While an empty debt is paid
In the tortured truth today
On a night train with the ever lose
Like a dull delightful spreading bruise
All my sins must be saved
I've got a God, but I can't behave
You're coming up and you beg for more
You're coming up and you're feeling sore
You're coming up like a broken ghost
You're coming up for your daily dose

You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
You're a hard machine that's cold
You're a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine that hurts
And a hard machine that's cold

I want a hard machine to have
A hard machine to hold
A hard machine to love
To do just what it's told

I want a hard machine
I want a hard machine
To do just what it's told
I want a hard machine
To do just what it's told
I want a hard machine
