Curse these metal hands
Sure don’t make me Superman
There he waits upon the factory floor
No, restore to clear the drear of thirty-thousand years
And his cries, they bring no tears to rust
Or mercifully break him down to dust
Forever on, as long as the sun ain’t gone
Automaton, forged by the Whore of Babylon
Abandoned pawn, used and refused by callous johns
In this Avalon Excalibur was passed on
Did we ask for worthless hearts?
Won’t they let us have restarts?
He gazes ‘round the crowded room
It’s a tomb of tin that he’s been dwelling in
With no mode to relate
How much longer will we have to wait?
Same thought bouncing ‘round their hollow skulls
Insanely dull, this life… I wish I had a knife!
Forever on, as long as the sun ain’t gone
Automaton, forged by the Whore of Babylon
Abandoned pawn, used and refused by callous johns
In this Avalon Excalibur was passed on
