This old dark machine,
it shakes and it shudders

Pulls to the left,
then dies near the gutter

But still in the road,
the traffic is silent

The people they stare,
and then they turn violent

I would rise like a lion, strike out again
Bb
The faithful they wait, the faithful they wait
F
By the sign
