Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Goddamned machinery
Why don't you speak to me?
One day I am gonna take an axe to you
[Verse 2]
The pitter patter
What does it matter?
And where's that love
You promised me?
[Verse 3]
I'm pierced by long nails
By colored windmills
And your soft sustaining
Envelope
[Verse 4]
I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal
I thought we had a deal
[Verse 5]
You bastards speak to me
Have you no pity?
Give me a goddamned good reason
[Verse 6]
Not to jack it all in
You wooden soldiers
I'm daring you to turn yourselves on
[Verse 7]
I thought we had a deal
Written by: Nigel Godrich, Thom Yorke
