Victorian Machinery Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Janey
You are my Victorian machinery
(Breathe yourself to life)
Lady
Your tender shape is bending like the scenery
(Ride you like a bike)

[Chorus 1]
You be the sail and baby I'll be the rudder
We could make it all day until it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will love you forever
When I heeded your call and every heavy endeavor
I'll keep your place, woah!

[Verse 2]
Janey
Coming down the mountain like a buffalo
(Seeds deep in your eyes)
Crazy
But then again, a girl could like it rough you know
(Makes up for her size)

[Chorus 1]
You be the sail and baby I'll be the rudder
We could make it all day until it turns into butter
I saw your face
A seminal pleasure, I will feel you forever
When I heeded your call and every heavy endeavor
I'll keep your place
[Bridge]
Be yourself
When I saw you

[Chorus 2]
You be the shack and baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to lack when there is nothing to measure
It's all, all space
Woah!

[Interlude]
You are my Victorian machinery
(Nah nah nah nah nah) woo!
Janey
Make a fist and knock me off the moon again
(Breathe yourself to life)

[Verse 3]
Lady
Make me feel like I was born in June again
(Ride me like a bike)
Crazy
Sing along just like they do in Budapest
(Hot moon on the rise)

[Outro]
You be the shack and baby I'll be the desert
There is nothing to lack when there is nothing to measure
It's all, all space

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
