Only the lonely know what it's like Running on empty blinded by the light I want to break free of the chain How soon is now? I wanna leave today Only the lonely know what it's like Running on empty blinded by the light I want to break free of the chain How soon is now? I wanna leave today I skip town like a refugee A man of constant sorrow running down a dream A hungry heart I was born to run So long, so long it was good to know yuh! Oh you know This machine kills sadness This machine kills sadness Oh you know This machine kills sadness This machine kills Hard travelin goin down the road No pastures of plenty no diamond soles Night moves I'm up against the wind The crossroads are just around the bend Hey tonight, I'm leaving on a jet plane To somewhere they can't find me And I'm never going back again Carry on, carry on! I'll sleep when I'm dead Oh you know This machine kills sadness This machine kills sadness Oh you know This machine kills sadness This machine kills
