Dangerous New Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Found out your secret
Im not gonna tell
I m gonna see that you end up in hell

I thought that I knew you no suprises guess that I was wrong
No one's gonna even notice after all of you were gone

Now you're in fear, cry out
I'm gonna light a match just to watch you

BURN!

you'll never go out,
yeah who's on fire now
I'm gonna burn your house to the ground

BURN!

you'll never go out,
yeah who's on fire now
I'm gonna burn your house to the ground

BURN!
BURN!

Guess you were jealous with nowhere to go
so send your pictures I'll star in the show
Now you gonna face it, never gonna beat me
better never fall asleep
You'll wake up one night head to toe in gasoline

Now you're in fear, cry out
I'm gonna light a match just to watch you

BURN!

you'll never go out,
yeah who's on fire now
I'm gonna burn your house to the ground

I remember Erik Rogers from his Stereomud days. A VERY underrated vocalist--definitely deserves more credit than he's gotten so far.
