A Using Machine
time was tired and old and wet
full of passion and regret
wondering what all this is
broken dreams and betrayed promises
Jimmy put her on a pedastal
in his mind she is still there
but he lost his mind and his will
and he isn't even aware
the line is long and crying
her lovers feel like dying
there is no sense in denying
there is no use in trying
she comes back like she wasn't gone
knowing how you carry on
reaching for your life today
still the same old game she plays
wanting more than she will give
taking is her life's design
wonder if she really knows
how far she crossed the line
she is a using machine
she will bleed your heart dry
take all your energy
then leave without goodbye
for she will return
when you have more to give
when will you learn
taking is her way to live
Larry was trying to save her
now he is sorry he met her
she too all the love he gave her
now just tries to forget her
the line is long and crying
her lovers feel like dying
there is no sense in denying
there is no use in trying
she comes back like she wasn't gone
knowing how you carry on
reaching for your life today
still the same old game she plays
wanting more than she will give
taking is her life's design
wonder if she really knows
how far she crossed the line
she is a using machine
she will bleed your heart dry
take all your energy
then leave without goodbye
for she will return
when you have more to give
when will you learn
taking is her way to live
Barry was trying to love her
nothing would be placed above her
too late in the game he'd discover
now he can only dream of her
the line is long and crying
her lovers feel like dying
there is no sense in denying
there is no use in trying
she comes back like she wasn't gone
knowing how you carry on
reaching for your life today
still the same old game she plays
wanting more than she will give
taking is her life's design
wonder if she really knows
how far she crossed the line
she is a using machine
she will bleed your heart dry
take all your energy
then leave without goodbye
for she will return
when you have more to give
when will you learn
taking is her way to live
