Metal Skin

You can turn me on by remote control
You tell me love is just a chemical
And if this is true then I don't need you
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
My mind is dull and it's full of rust
But my veins are full of wanderlust
Wanna feel good, feel like it's almost real
I could be anyone, I could be anyone
I feel so mechanical
I wanna run with the animals
Wanna shed my metal skin
Wanna forget everything
Someone free the radicals
The world gets too predictable
Wanna shed my skin
Wanna forget everything
Woah
Looking for somewhere to change
Deep in the night I can hear you call my name
I'm already leaving, and I ain't never coming back again
And if I did I wouldn't be the same
I feel so mechanical
I wanna run with the animals
Wanna shed my metal skin
Wanna forget everything
Someone free the radicals
The world gets too predictable
Wanna shed my skin
Wanna forget everything
Late last night, the night before
You were on the street you were looking for
Some human touch, oh some human touch
Skin so tight can't take no more
You're on your knees, heading to the floor
And losing touch, you been losing touch
Woah
Looking for somewhere to change
Deep in the night I can hear you call my name
I'm already leaving, and I ain't never coming back again
And if I did I wouldn't be the same
I feel so mechanical
I wanna run with the animals
Wanna shed my metal skin
Wanna forget everything
Someone free the radicals
The world gets too predictable
Wanna shed my skin
Wanna forget everything
Late last night, the night before
You were on the street you were looking for
Some human touch, some human touch
Skin so tight can't take no more
You're on your knees, heading to the floor
And losing touch, you been losing touch
Late last night, the night before
You were on the street you were looking for
Some human touch, some human touch
Skin so tight can't take no more
You're on your knees, heading to the floor
And losing touch, you been losing touch
