The National - Ice Machines Lyrics

[Verse 1]Cartoons from a televisionWhistles from the streetBlackout curtains, summer sirensElectricity[Refrain]I don't need ice machines, I don't need speaker systemsI don't need white lights blinkingI don't need you to witness, I don't need your forgivenessI don't need anything[Verse 2]Finally start to make connectionsWhen everything goes darkIt's pulling me in all directionsIt's tearing you apart[Pre-Chorus]I don't need ice machines, I don't need speaker systemsI don't need white lights blinkingI don't need you to witness, I don't need your forgivenessI don't need anythingBut I do[Chorus]What am I doing watching clocks?Space is too empty, this room's too hotWhat am I doing wandering halls?Ringing doorbells, pounding walls[Verse 3]I don't know what to say to peopleIt only makes things worseIt's timе to take my silent treatmеntThis won't be the first[Pre-Chorus]I don't need ice machines, I don't need speaker systemsI don't need white lights blinkingI don't need you to witness, I don't need your forgivenessI don't need anythingBut I do[Chorus]What am I doing watching clocks?Space is too empty, this room's too hotWhat am I doing wandering halls?Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?[Bridge]A rock that fell from orbitI roll across the carpet, underFrozen flowers on the wallsLeaning on my shoulders[Chorus]What am I doing watching clocks?Space is too empty, this room's too hotWhat am I doing wandering halls?Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?What am I doing watching clocks?Space is too empty, this room's too hotWhat am I doing wandering halls?Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?What am I doing watching clocks?Space is too empty, this room's too hotWhat am I doing wandering halls?Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?
