Happy Birthday Lisa

i fell down the stairs
that you told me to polish with care

i am a robot
i have robotic thoughts
oil in my heart
push my buttons 
to make me start

i have a robotic heart
and i've loved you from the start

please don't put me away
at the end of the day

oh i loved you-
i love you!
but you
don't know what to do with me
do with me
screw with me
unbolt my legs 
reformat my harddrive
and let me be alive

Buffer - The Planeteers

circuitry 
wires running through me 
unplug me
discharge me
i'm running on low battery

i'm dying

reluctant to accept that
because i'm not a living man 

these last seven years 
i've wasted - with all my tears -
i wasted - with all my fears -
on you

i would make you breakfast
if my thumbs were opposable  
but these stupid claws were too adorable

you'll prefer a machine
not a lover

you were the best that i ever knew
my bleeps and bloops said, 'i love you'

bleep, bloop, bleep, bloop, bleep, bloop, bleep bloop bleep bloop, bleep bloop, bleep bleep bloop

my bolts are running inside my chest
hear them rattling up in there?
it's going to take a diagnostic check
or a medical doctor who could inspect this noise

_bongo solo_ 

my bolts still shiver




Battery Low - The Planeteers

distress 
fills my chest
i'm not the best

charge me
rewire me
make sure i can still 'be' 

i could process your polygraph
when you laugh

when you enter a room
i can feel the sparks bloom

-_+trumpet+solo_/.

i can't see you
in my radio eyes

i can hear your heartbeat
i can hear it in my beeps

spoken word==-;.

now i thought we were compatible 
but i guess i just didn't have the right patches for that
maybe if i downgraded your hardware or software or whatever
you'd love me too

that's something ya know
i'd never be able to give you


Negative Feedback - The Planeteers

i can't find love in this factory
i can only build a new battery

pump out new models all the time
all better than mine

how will i be the best for you
if i can not do what you need me to

_music break_

i loved you
but i was not the best programmed monster
out there
i want to hold you, kiss you, love you
but i'm not that

i want to show you
that i have a loving binary code
i'm just a ghost

Battery - The Planeteers

you scared me when
you told me the thoughts
in your robotic head

you used to compute the truth
what got into you?

i wanted you to go
the right way
i wanted you to stay away

but you gave me these awkward feelings
you are made out of the same materials as buildings

+synth solo_

you are a machine
how can you love me?
you are a machine 
please don't love me

don't love me
it's not easy 

i wish this was easy

Retension - The Planeteers

i can't find love in this factory
i can only build myself a new battery

pump out new models all the time
all better than mine
how will i be the best for you
if i can not do what you need me to 

_break_

i loved you
but i was not the best programmed 
monster out there

i want to hold you
kiss you 
love you
but i'm not (yelling)

i want to show you that i have a loving 
binary code
i'm just a ghost
