When I was a robot
I had wires for hair
I could see out of my knuckles cause I put diodes in there
I got myself a girlfriend and she moved in with me
She was the cutest toaster you've ever seen

My hands are made of blenders
My nose, a small black knob
My body's just a cardboard box I sprayed silver paint on
My insides are precision tools that hold my memories
If you want a clearer picture, there's an x-ray in my knee

I gave myself an upgrade
Installed a circuit board
Now I see the past and the future where I am old
The stars above are big and red and swollen in the sky
And when they come back down again, well, that is when I die

A hundred million years
A billion trillion days
One gazillion times quintillion minutes till I've made
A spaceship that will take me to the edge of the galaxy
My whirring, clicking, beeping girlfriend's going there with me

When I Was A Robot (banjo)

I say: put this song on when you're driving around in the rain

Rain Driving Song

oh, montana
with your rolling hills and your soft blonde hair
oooh montana
your noble nose and your population of forest groves
your rivers and lakes
the way a smile breaks across your face
your grace
your willowy frame and your actual willow trees
montana brings us to our knees

hey montana
no one can truly know anyone
but your well charted maps make me want to try

hey montana
schoolchildren do reports on you
(your favourite colors and your favourite songs)
make detailed posters with sparkle marker and washable glue
(all the speeding tickets you got)
(and when you first got your period)
to them you’re new but always there
like Delaware
but way way better at math

I love manhatten (I wrote this song in a dream)

Ten million years from now
When the continents
Return to the other side of the planet
And press into themselves
Until they meet their own core of resistance
I'll still want to spend all of my time around you

Ten million years from now
When the continents
Return to the other side of the planet
And press into themselves
Until they meet

Shift The Plates (rough)

I'll cut down trees
Build you a boat
I'll make it striped
Would that please you?
You'll teach me how to steer your ship
Kiss lips and dip me dreamy
I want to hold on and let you go toward me

Getting drunk on boxed wine down by the water
I'm one step behind so I can watch you go by

You know your moves make me crazy
Remind me of the feeling
When you skip stairs all at once
Land so hard you're left reeling

I want to hold on and let you go toward me

The Boat Song (rough)
