Lyrics and translation
Original
I want to be the machine in your hand and go wherever you go.
Your every touch would be my command and I wouldn't be so slow.
We'd be together in wonderland and I'd light you with my glow.
I want to be the machine in your hand and go wherever you go.
I don't know why I love you.
You're not really a person, more a gadget with meat stuck to it.
I see less and less of you as you worsen and worsen. I think you're disappearing through it.
No doubt you're just ahead of the curve.
I only wish that I had the nerve to say. . .
I want to be the machine in your hand and go wherever you go.
Your every touch would be my command and I wouldn't be so slow.
We'd be together in wonderland and I'd light you with my glow.
I want to be the machine in your hand and go wherever you go. You can hold me for hours.
Wouldn't that be terrific? We can feel a connection growing.
I'll have magical powers, only they're scientific.
You and I will become all-knowing. Such a machine, what would it be worth?
Stick with me, kid, we'll conquer the Earth.
I want to be the machine in your hand and go wherever you go.
Your every touch would be my command and I wouldn't be so slow.
We'd be together in wonderland and I'd light you with my glow.
I want to be the machine in your hand and go wherever you go.
