## Lyrics
[verse]
There's a wheel that keeps on turning in my chest
Grinding through the mornings, never letting me rest
Every gear is calling out a different name
Trying to build a man who's more than just a frame

[chorus]
I'm running on the current, running on the wire
Feeding some machine that never seems to tire
Somewhere in the circuits there's a piece of me still true
Machinehead, machinehead, still trying to break through

[verse]
They wired me for function, wired me for speed
Never asked me once about the things I need
Now I'm looking for the switch to slow it all down
Just to feel a human heartbeat in this town

[chorus]
I'm running on the current, running on the wire
Feeding some machine that never seems to tire
Somewhere in the circuits there's a piece of me still true
Machinehead, machinehead, still trying to break through

[bridge]
Pull the plug and let the static fall away
Underneath the wiring I've got something left to say
Not a number, not a part, not a name they gave
Just a heart still beating underneath the cage

[chorus]
I'm running on the current, running on the wire
Feeding some machine that never seems to tire
Somewhere in the circuits there's a piece of me still true
Machinehead, machinehead, still trying to break through
