[Instrumental Intro: 00:00-01:04] [Verse 1: David Gilmour] Welcome my son Welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's all right we know where you've been You've been in the pipeline filling in time Provided with toys and scouting for boys You bought a guitar to punish your ma You didn't like school and you know you're nobody's fool [Refrain] So welcome to the machine [Instrumental Break: 02:16-03:58] [Verse 2: David Gilmour] Welcome my son Welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's all right we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar He always ate in the Steak Bar He loved to drive in his Jaguar [Refrain] So welcome to the machine [Instrumental Outro] [Synthesizer Solo]
