"Dope Machines" lyrics - THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT

THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT
"Dope Machines"
(Mikel Jollett)

You keep me up some nights
Trying to figure what you mean
I don't know if it's right
I don't what you're asking
When you laugh and you say
"I was only joking"

And it still feels wrong
I'm always asking these questions
"Are you just playing dumb?
Or trying to get a reaction?"
When you laugh and you say
"I was only joking"

[Chorus:]
We got our eyes on screens
All of these dope machines
Isn't it funny how they feel so much like dreams?
Am I trying too hard?
Oh, I'm not trying at all

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in my bones
You coming out tonight?
We gonna end up alone?
Just so I could pretend
I was only joking

[Chorus]

I got three or four things
I've always wanted to tell you
I got two or three secrets
I don't think you could handle
A little closer to me
I was never joking
Come a little closer to me
I was never joking
