Lyrics
A New Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I built a robot from car parts that ran on steam
It seemed
Awkward but it was the best way to make me a new friend:
A machine
Emotions I crafted so carefully from the steel
It'd feel
Aligned to my interests, protective, bound to my will
I was thrilled
I flipped on the power
The cogs now in motion
The engine it screamed as I backed towards the door
Oh no, I thought
Now I've gone and done it
But before I could run it roared
You've won a most wonderful week
In the south of France
Quelle onne chance!
Come, now we go to the snowy peaks of the Alps
And ski down
Needless to say this delighted me
Like a child
I smiled
Robot and I
Rode down the west side highway
In style, so wild
