lyrics

(haunting)

The melodies were written for a room full of smoke
For men with no money in nineteen thirty-two
And I put them over a machine that keeps perfect time
And people call it modern and it is the opposite

Haunting (haunting)
That is the word, haunting
Not fusion, haunting
Haunting

Haunting, haunting, haunting, haunting
A dead man's tune in a machine that cannot die
Haunting, haunting, haunting, haunting
I am not reviving anything, I am being visited

My grandmother knew these songs and would not sing them.
She said they were for people who had lost everything.
She had lost everything. That was exactly why she wouldn't.
(MACHINE RETURNS)

Haunting, haunting, haunting, haunting
A dead man's tune in a machine that cannot die
Haunting, haunting, haunting, haunting
I am not reviving anything, I am being visited
