Lyrics
Tinker, tinker, tinker
Pling, pling, ding
My body breaks, the void screams
Weary of hollow metals that ring of hollow life
By hand and by hammer I give birth tonight
Metal bend and metal scream
Welding bright the circuit seam
Weary of the hollow spaces between the twinkling lights
I lost something along the way and it doesn’t feel right
Maybe I’m not falling apart but I’m falling a lot
Maybe I’m not completely circuitry, but I can’t stop
I’m gonna fall apart!
I’m gonna fall apart!
Coming close, I’m coming closer, or maybe I’m not
I can make you a sex machine, that would be hot
Break my nails and pull my hair
Theres circuit boards everywhere
How long have I been in here?
This is not my house
Maybe I’m not falling apart but I’m falling a lot
Maybe I’m not completely circuitry, but I can’t stop
I’m not a robot but I’ve got a mechanical hand
I can steal the stars and put them back again
Once upon a time, I had a broken heart
Once upon a time, I just had a heart
I limped when I was wounded, so I replaced my parts
Once upon a time, I had a heart
I’m not a robot but I’ve got a mechanical hand
I can steal the stars and put them back again
If I am a machine because of my hand made heart
Then why do I dream I’m a dinosaur tearing sheep apart?
Lightning fill me up, it tells me where to go
Colors me and changes me, it withers me to coal
Lightning tears me up, leaves me smoldering
I close my eyes and hear her voice framed by vulture wings
In the wires of my hand, I see my fate
Cold and mechanical, squeaky with hate
It clicks, whirs and I’m satisfied
It’s designed to fill that black hole deep inside
I’m turning away from the path of soft skin to a path of mechanical sin
Turning away from the warmth of gold
To an empty machine thats broken and cold
Click, click, click, hollow rooms always consume
Click, click, click, dark and empty like most of the moon
Click, click, click, the things we do in the name of love
Click, click, click, secret machines and a rusty glove
Sleep well mechanical thing, you were fun for awhile
But now I’m going going going to go and get a burrito
And get a burrito
And get a burrito
