In a world were science dictates pain and laughter It isn't hard to guess what's coming after As humans seem less real, machines begin to feel And eventually, the slave becomes the master When they made the LS-7 in Japan They just let it get completely out of hand With it's circuits laid out wrong, it was made to be too strong Now it's proved to be too much for mortal man Metal on metal, the new kind of fire Sensor to sensor, artificial desire The dawning of a brand new day Future love can't be very far away He's a laser-optic stalker called big brother She's a light-emitting diode foster mother If the two should ever meet, they'd be ever so discreet But they're programmed to respond to one another As he's rolling down an alley on his round A reflection in a puddle brings him down 'Cause it wasn't there to see, it was extra-sensory He keeps searching, but she's nowhere to be found Metal on metal, the new kind of fire Sensor to sensor, artificial desire The dawning of a brand new day Future love can't be very far away Falling to pieces, starting to rust Driven by overbearing lust Chasing a vision, memory's plan Into a hostile, no man's land Now his micro-processor brain's begun to fade In fact that version is no longer even made But it keeps him moving on, until all hope is gone He will find her when his dues have all been paid Metal on metal, the new kind of fire Sensor to sensor, artificial desire The dawning of a brand new day Future love can't be very far away
