Am I love? Every heart is beating I'm all love Can't you feel me feeling? Take my hand Cold like a junkie I'm an ice cold man (I'm an ice cold) Why am I crying for you? All this love I felt for you Has gone away to another place I put my faith in a digital world where they've given me Eyes without a face I'd steal the moon, on silver nights Remind myself I am someone My soul is numb and for tonight (I'm automaton) I'm so tough Can't you see me running See I can touch Can you feel me coming? I see the world And cry for freedom These metal eyes, they can't disguise The fact that I (I need something to believe in) But then I'm dying for you I said goodbye to the world I knew And took off into inner space Weren't you the ones who promised me A very different place I've powered up, get my program set And tilt my head toward the sun Inside I know, I'm not a void (I'm automaton) (Automaton, automaton) (Automaton, automaton) Hey, you got me down underground Getting holed up in my cyber lounge As if I had time to break that down (Automaton) Whatever you can do I can override it Got a million ways to synthesize it Digital android, I can fight it (Fi-fi-fi-fight it out) (Automaton, automaton) (Automaton, automaton) Feel like a man, who fell to earth That this is not where I belong They rule my life from a metal box, that's windowless And I wonder, where it all goes wrong Maybe this dream will stay alive But can the madness be undone? Am I the new intelligence? (I'm automaton, I'm automaton) (I'm automaton, I'm automaton) (I'm automaton, I'm automaton) (I'm automaton) You know I need something I can hold on to Hold on to You were all I knew (I'm automaton) I need something I can hold on to Hold on to This was all I knew (I'm automaton)
