Cut & Dried Lyrics

by Jesus Jones (written by Mike Edwards)
       from the single Bring it on Down


the things that scare me most
are the things that i know least about
like love and death and being alone
and some things i don't talk about
baby says to me to be as happy as can be
she needs "[a] little help from her friends"
and she says "oh yes, but i still love you"
and that's all very well, but
where does it all end?

cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside

should i leave this burning ship
or should i stand on the deck 'til the end?
oh i can choose it either way i will lose
but at least on that i can depend
so how can i care for you
when you won't even care for yourself?
all i need is just some little way out
that's not so     bad for my health

cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside

cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
cut and dried
i wanna be like a machine inside
