Additional Information
Unknown to the general public, that still believes there was only 1 Vinyl pressing of Machina II + EP’s & the possibility to download the songs from several sources on the internet: there are also 2 CD pressings, 1 in the US and 1 in the UK. Both are extremely rare to get, as they were never sent out to any media, and the amount pressed are very low too: approximately less than 10 for the US set (presented here), and maybe a few dozen for the UK set.

MORE +Lyrics
Midnight people
Rushing for a downtown train
Watching and wasting away
Their hearts beat free
Cool frequency
And I don’t know what it is
I’m gonna run the slow dawn
Seeking sigh, oh so faint
I’m gonna run the slow dawn awake
It’s blessed undone
The songbirds all around
And I’m not sure what it is
But I’m sure that I could give it
Awake the slow dawn
Slow dawn moves by my side
Teach your silent sleep
Slow dawn
The midnight people
Washing down here, wasting way
They’re gonna run the slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake
The slow dawn awake
- 2 . Vanity
Lyrics
You can hear the baby bones
Crack beneath her wheels
Tears of avalon
Streak silent down her shield
High crimes and misdemeanors
Unfortunate attacks
Will leave you standing nameless
While she’s turning black
Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Eleanor, you’ve lost me
In a haze of wine and cocaine
Gone out and cost me
Everything I blame
Broadcast in tv detail
To call their own stories
As I try to recapture
Our best in former glories
Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die
She swears she’ll turn around
Turn around for good
She swears she’ll turn around
Turn around for sure
You know you’ll run around
Run around for her
You know you want to know so pure
Ease on that dirt road
You’ve still a ways to go
Soak in sights and city lights
While you still can borrow
Cursed fall will find you
And bring a memory
The ghost of her surrender
With the kiss of anarchy
She’s naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die
Die

The clever make the world weary
To pull it from its moorings
To fawn the young wicked roost
To weather the coming storms
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside now
Saturnine
How I love to waste your time
Saturnine
Saturnine
Goodbye all you widows
Tearstained underneath
Blessed to the many
Who are seeking some relief
They are inside
They are inside now
They are inside
They are inside
You'll always run
But you cannot find
Saturnine
Saturnine
Saturnine
You were waiting all this time
Saturnine
Saturnine
Camera take this picture
The wreckage is outside
Quick may you hurry
We are losing our light
We are inside now
We are inside
We are inside
You'll always run
But you'll never find
Saturnine
Saturnine
How I'd love to make you mine
Saturnine
Saturnine
To the ages I am speaking
To the creatures I am sky
Bloody simple features
Everyone chooses sides
Shatter this faith broken
Walk these summer miles
Leave here while forgotten
Carrying forth this child
Saturnine
- 4 . Glass’ Theme
Lyrics
Shattering fast, I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering fast, I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering, glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast, I'm glass, I'm glass
Got a lot of tears
In a blood-stained jar
Been a real long time
Since I walk the fine line
You set up the walls
You set up the walls
Hold all my calls
I'll be by the pool
Won't you please
Talk to me
Won't you love
What I love
All alone
In my soul
I betrayed
My rock and roll
My rock and roll
My rock and roll
My rock and roll
My rock and roll
Shattering fast, I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering, glass, glass, glass
You set up the walls
Hold all my calls
I'll be by the pool
Playing with my guns
And there's nowhere to run
I'm the one you love now
Staying after school
Breaking all the rules
Shattering fast
Shattering fast
I'm shattering glass
Shattering fast, oh
