Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up (Machines Take Me Over) lyrics

I work on the front line, I work to survive I sleep in a fever, So this is my life I cry in my sleep, cry boy, cry boy It just makes me weep when I try, how I try I know what it means to work hard on machines It's a labor of love so please don't ask me why? Looking for reasons, day in, day out Trying too hard, he's trying too hard Moving in circles, too hot, too hot Don't get very far, don't get very far Should I ask you to dance? Dance boy, dance boy If I promise romance would you come for the ride? I know what it means to work hard on machines Do you believe in love, one that lasts for all time? You take me up, oh hoh You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down I'm glad in these hard times, day in, day out There's hope in your eyes, hope in his eyes I don't need a religion, too hot, too hot 'Cause this love never dies, love never dies I believe in today,believe boy, believe boy It's better that way and you work through the night I know what it means to work hard on machines It's a labor of love, so please don't ask me why? You take me up, oh hoh You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down I cry in my sleep, cry boy, cry boy It just makes me weep when I try, how I try I know what it means to work hard on machines It's a labor of love so please don't ask me why? You take me up, oh hoh You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down You take me up, oh hoh You take me up to the higher ground You take me up so high Now I never want to come back down
