I work on the front line
I work to survive
And I sleep in a fever
So this is my life
I cry in my sleep
It just makes me weep
when I try, how I try
I know what it means
to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love so
please don't ask me why
Looking for reason
Trying too hard
Moving in circles
Don't get very far
Should I ask you to dance
If I promise romance,
would you come for a 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, ooh ooh
You take me up to
the higher ground
You take me up so high..
Now I never wanna
come back down
I'm glad in these hard times
There's hope in your eyes
I don't need a religion
If this love never dies
I believe in today
'Cause it's better this way
when you work
through the night
I know what it means to
work hard on machines
It's a labour of love,
so please don't ask me why.
You take me up, ooh ooh
You take me up to
the higher ground
You take me up so high,
now I never wanna
come back down
I cry in my sleep
It just makes me weep
when I try, how I try
I know what it means
to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love so
please don't ask me why
You take me up, ooh ooh
You take me up to
the higher ground
You take me up so high,
now I never wanna
come back down
You take me up, ooh ooh
You take me up to
the higher ground
You take me up so high,
now I never wanna
come back down
