I found the air

Down here in the chambers

You warned me of danger

But I want to stop this - for a moment

There must be someone - in the open

Waiting for the starlight

Rendezvous at midnight

I want to touch them - and to love them

And we'll be there - when it's over

All the love we'll never know

The machine has got control

Can you hear the voices

Calling out the choices

Spend a lifetime - going nowhere

The machine stops - and it's over

All the love we'll never know

The machine has got control

I found the air

The machine stops
