Our Velocity Lyrics - Maximo Park

I'm not a man, I'm a machine 

Chisel me down until I am clean 

I buy books I never read 

And then I'll tell you some more about me 

Beneath the concrete there's a sound 

A muffled cry below the ground 

There is a poison in the air 

A mix of chemicals and fear 

manners are just hunches 

I'm not sure what they mean 

You're asking for commitment 

When I'm somewhere inbetween 

Never never try to gauge temperature 

When you tend to travel at such speed 

It's our velocity 

Is it cold where you are this time of the year? 

You didn't leave a scar 

A stream of numbers hit a screen 

And you're expected to know what they mean 

Throughout the conflict, I was serene 

I can't outrun the sadness I've seen 

Are you willing to resist 

The people you've never met? 

The devil's wheel revolves 

But it needs to be reset 

Never never try to gauge temperature 

When you tend to travel at such speed 

It's our velocity 

Please tell me is it cold where you are this time of the year? 

You didn't leave a scar 

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 

I'm just alone with these thoughts 

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 

I'm just alone with my thoughts 

I watched a film to change my feelings 

Strong enough to bear a burden 

If everyone became this sensitive 

I wouldn't have to be so sensitive 

If everyone became so sensitive 

Perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive 

Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to 

Love is a lie, which means I've been lying too 

Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to 

Love is a lie 

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 

I'm just alone with these thoughts 

I've got no-one to call in the middle of the night anymore 

I'm just alone with my thoughts 

Never never try to guage temperature 

When you tend to travel at such speed 

It's our velocity
