Helpless Automaton

Lyrics for Helpless Automaton

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, oh 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 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, oh 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
