Ice Machines Lyrics – The National

[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
Cartoons from a television
Whistles from the street
Blackout curtains, summer sirens
Electricity

[Refrain: Matt Berninger]
I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything

[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
Finally start to make connections
When everything goes dark
It's pulling me in all directions
It's tearing you apart

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Berninger]
I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything, but I do

[Chorus: Matt Berninger]
What am I doing watching clouds?
Space is too empty, this room's too hot
What am I doing wandering halls?
Ringing doorbells, pounding walls

[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]
I don't know what to say to people
It only makes things worse
It's timе to take my silent treatmеnt
This won't be the first

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Berninger]
I don't need ice machines
I don't need speaker systems
I don't need white lights blinking
I don't need you to witness
I don't need your forgiveness
I don't need anything, but I do

[Chorus: Matt Berninger]
What am I doing watching clouds?
Space is too empty, this room's too hot
What am I doing wandering halls?
Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?

[Bridge: Matt Berninger]
A rock that fell from orbit
I roll across the carpet under
Frozen flowers on the walls
Leaning on my shoulder

[Outro: Matt Berninger]
What am I doing watching clouds?
Space is too empty, this room's too hot
What am I doing wandering halls?
Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?
What am I doing watching clouds?
Space is too empty, this room's too hot
What am I doing wandering halls?
Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?
What am I doing watching clouds?
Space is too empty, this room's too hot
What am I doing wandering halls?
Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?
