The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger - Robot Boy lyrics

On the first day it started to rain Children were laughing and went out to play But soon all the streets were rivers and streams Creatures were trickling in front the deep Cars floating like ships over skyscraper tips The tallest of trees swaying like seaweed (chorus) Aluminum and paperclips Refrigerator parts and microchips A rudimentary robot boy A heart of rubber bands and broken toys Just before dusk afraid he might rust He climbed aboard an upside down bus With bottle cap eyes he soon realized Nobody else but he had survived Sifting through debris of kindred machines Drifting through a graveyard of sunken cities (chorus) For thirty nights with no land in sight He never was hungry nor lonesome or tired His mechanical brain could not go insane His metallic skin could never feel pain The whales gathered round with sibilant sound They told him about the only way out If you want to survive if you want to shine Then you've got to find someone of your kind As they pulled him away across the waves He saw a pretty face Made of tin cans and lace (chorus with different lyrics) Aluminum and balloon lips Refrigerator parts and cardboard hips A rudimentary robot girl A heart of rubber bands And plastic pearls
