Brave Saint Saturn Space Robot Five Lyrics

Space Robot Five Lyrics

So far, so good, or so they say from mission control, 

The deep of space
is no place for a fragile human soul. 

The rockets burn as servos click
and turn, 

and fall into their place. 

Robots can't cry, 

don't laugh, 

can't die, 

In the darkness of space. 

He is
strong, made of steel with the graphite lining, 

Watch his eyes flicker
slow like the batteries are dying. 



Chorus 

Space Robot 5,


Is he alive? 

So very alone, 

So far from home. 



Three strands of wire, 

Threefold the tie that binds. 

She is
the one thing on the earth for which he still pines. 

To his heart she
was life, 

So he prays to his Maker with a sigh, 

As his fire
sputters out, 

Because robots never cry.
