Shaking On A String lyrics

He wakes up
A machine starting up
He stands up
Exhausted from his dreams
Broken up

Can't start up
A world with normal things
Meaning nothing

He wakes up
Coiled like a spring
Twisted up

And he can not attract attention
’Cause it will leave him too wound up
And that kind of frustration
Is too much
It's too much

So look, don't touch
Look at the machine
Burning up

So distraught
He’s shaking on a string
Breaking up
