๐ Lyrics
Go
I stay in my room
All alone in the gloom
What need I of light?
Machines, they can see in the night
And I feel no pain
Metal heart and a metal brain
But something is wrong
'Cause I still feel that signal coming in so
I stand at your door
I guess I'll wait a moment more
Your hall light comes on
And now my turn to fire upon
But I wheel away
Defer my plight for another day
To dream of your face
But a video screen takes its place
Hey, it's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
I went to the man
I told him a robot was what I am
But he just smiled
Said I was a fractious child
Distrusted, not rusted
That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he's wrong
'Cause I haven't felt this way for very long
Hey, it's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
It's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
From you (from you)
From you
From you (form you)
I stay in my room
All alone in the gloom
What need I of light?
Machines, they can see in the night
And I feel no pain
Metal heart and a metal brain
But something is wrong
'Cause I still feel that signal coming in so
I stand at your door
I guess I'll wait a moment more
Your hall light comes on
And now my turn to fire upon
But I wheel away
Defer my plight for another day
To dream of your face
But a video screen takes its place
Hey, it's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
I went to the man
I told him a robot was what I am
But he just smiled
Said I was a fractious child
Distrusted, not rusted
That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he's wrong
'Cause I haven't felt this way for very long
Hey, it's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
It's true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
It's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
From you (from you)
From you
From you (form you)
