Steam Paves Its Way (The Machine)
Flo V. Schwarz
Fire boiling water
Pressure in a vessel
Steam paves its way, the machine
Once it shakes
It proceeds like a tambourine
Pressurized, this pile
Explodes once in a while
Lift what a thousands can't shift
The times are out of joint
In new ages we drift
We re armed, we re headfirst
Burst into flames
By fire rearranged
Gasping tons of metal
Moaning while they move
Steam paves its way, the machine
Once it shakes
It proceeds like a tambourine
Pressurized, this pile
Explodes once in a while
Lift what a thousands can't shift
The times are out of joint
In new ages we drift
We re armed, we re headfirst
Scientific thirst
We re armed, we re head first
Burst into flames
By fire rearranged
Machinery competes against man
A dirge for those who can
