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 scren takes its place
Hey, oh it's true
i'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
hey, 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 is 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
hey, it's true
machin'ry in my pocket, i've even got a docket from you
i'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
hey, 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
hey, it's true
machin'ry in my pocket, i've even got a docket from you
from you
from you
