Helpless Automaton Lyrics

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
