What are you        
thinking of 
What are you doing, What do you think you can do 

There is what you are 
what you do
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor 

What do you mean 
That's what you get 
Did you forget to know what the end is 

To begin 
clearing 
Looking out at ripples on the dance floor 
  


Dream machine 
Did you get everything you asked for 
Dream machine
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor 
The dance floor
The dance floor 
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor 
  


Love's rage 
broken page 
Electric lights and glass bone nights 

Electric lines 
run through your minds
Distractions with radio contraptions 

Pipe ashes  
night glasses 
Tick tock hear the wind lick the window 

Ignited 
you're invited 
Grow wings sprouting from the backbone 


  
Dream machine 
Mr. Jones you don't know what you came for 
Dream machine 
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor 
The dance floor 
The dance floor 
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor 
  
We are like those two mirrors 
steaming in the rain 
We are those two lovers 
holding each other's hands 

Dream with me 
Dream with me 
Rattlesnake charm on the dance floor
