The Image Is - Gary Numan

I intrude on patience

I intrude on young hearts

I intrude on all such things

That can take you by surprise

Time and time again

So?

I’ve no welcome for you

I’ve no welcome for talk

I’ve no welcome in my house

I’ve tried too love, you know

Time and time again

Oh look, there’s a man inside

The head’s not the museum it’s supposed to be

We sleep with machines that breathe

And some even have names the executive dream

We’re all substance here

I’ll sing a song from the film that broke your heart

Oh, look at the smile that cracks

Tomorrow we’ll be civilized

And buy the whole world clothes

We don’t believe in you

We’re specialized mechanics in repairing the bitch

You bounce around my head

You say it’s illegal but I’m sure it’s okay
