Machine The Tragically Hip

[Verse 1]
I write about words
I find treasure or worse
I watch the end of man and
And I dream like a bird

[Pre-Chorus]
I remain aloft
And I forget a lot
I try not to try and
I can remember or not

[Chorus]
I'm a real machine, it follows
You're a real machine, fed on shadows
I'm a real machine, follow
You're a real machine, fed on shadows

[Verse 2]
I return your gaze
I wait in the rain
All inchoate desires
I do what I hate

[Pre-Chorus]
I remain aloft
And I forget a lot
Then I try not to try and
I can remember or not
