Cut & Dried Lyrics

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 want to be like a machine inside

Cut and dried
I want to 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 want to be like a machine inside

Cut and dried
I want to be like a machine inside
Cut and dried
I want to be like a machine inside

Cut and dried
I want to be like a machine inside
