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 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
