Welcome, Machine Gun

Times have changed my friend
But they're still beautiful
Recall the place where I was born
Childhood, fields of green
It's me, the mad machine
I've come to play and run away.

When you wake up in the mornin'
Wake up to the melody
You can hear them call your name
Your best friend is technology.

Round and round, you're never lazy
Round you turn in lullabies
Twenty nine, you're going crazy
Machine gun.

Thirty five, he joined the Navy
Good ole Navy's harmony
Then he got a broken heart on 20th anniversary.

Send your love to operators
Send your love into the rain
Every day your solitude
May hurt you like a hurricane.

So welcome
Oh-oh-oh, welcome
Machine gun
Oh-oh-oh, welcome.

Martha planned to make a movie
Movie made in stereo
Then she went to California
Winded up on radio.

Round about the Navy ballroom
Get the man in gabardine
Kiss him once and kiss them all
And send me cards on Halloween.

So welcome
Oh-oh-oh, welcome
Machine gun
So welcome machine gun.

Voice of silence come
The world's so wonderful
We cry, make love
And the wind goes on.

Monday up to Saturday
You kick your soul from nine to five
Sunday's always wonderful
You wander on the TV line.

Love is not a silly notion
Love is not a monorail
Love is like the one you love
A candle in the hurricane.

So welcome
Oh-oh-oh, welcome
Machine gun
Oh-oh-oh, welcome
Welcome machine gun.

So welcome
So welcome machine gun
Oh-oh-oh, welcome
Machine gun.
