Robots in Disguise

Chinese mistresses, flagrant dares
Right of the middle no graces or airs
Don't sell charms or wares
I'll take polythene, I'll take coal
Jump through the mirror now, you're stories sold
I got the armoured back of millionaires
I'm a protector dancing to my own fanfare
And nobody cares
Anything louder than static oversteps the mark
Like cigarette trodden
but still burning
Anything brighter than grey can get lost in the dark
Put a paper bag over
Your head
Dance to the bad times
Just read me out the bottom line
Wash down with inexpensive wine
You got me to a tee
Bad eggs still come unstuck
Bombarded with bad luck
Try to find someone who gives a fuck
You mean nothing to me
Where has your worship gone?
My trust in that ancient song
Never leaves me alone
How did I get make everything so wrong?
First stinger that flower's thorn...
Oh the taste...
Coulda been, shoulda been, my mother tells me
Every chance took a turn, but your shame it is my pride
My one and only
Never could, never would, never tried, never loved anyone
All I want back's day when you would follow me to anywhere
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
Let's stay grounded here and never roam
Teach the kids to cure a blizzard with a home
Safe now from the robots and the snow
Lock doors and cure a blizzard with a home...
He'll send a message to my hands and to my feet
But the brain it never listens...
It'll send a message to my hands and to my feet
But the brain it never listens...
He'll send a message to my hands and to my feet
But the brain it never listens...
He'll send a message to my hands and to my feet
But the brain it never listens...
