Bm
Ever since the first time I opened my eyes
D
Iʼve awakened to the same thing
F#m                                        Bm
Other automaton friends roughly built like me

Bm
The first time I opened my mouth to speak
D
steam escaped to the air
F#m                                             Bm
and black oil dripped from my lips and onto the ground

     Bm
Well daylight struck a chord with my photo-receptors
D
Night greeted me with a sea of stars
    F#m                                           Bm
Our eyes all flashed blues and greens through the night

Itʼs just our

Bm
People are soaring, always exploring,
D
higher than theyʼve ever been before
F#m
But we are still down here, feet on the ground near
A
what will rise us up with the rest

    Bm
Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,
  D
mechanical in nature all the time
    F#m
And pulses are firing in our head wiring,
A
guiding all our actions and beings

Itʼs just our

A               Bm
I am not an unimaginable thing
D                                      F#m
My thoughts are tangible though theyʼre full of springs
  A                                Bm
I donʼt have the heart to send you untruthful words
D                                F#m
My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth

They say

Bm             D                  F#m
Oh, oh itʼs so down, but baby its sound
                     A
makes your worries cease to pound

    Bm                 D                   F#m
And oh, maybe itʼs alright, ʼcause baby it fights
                      A
for some time just to be held tight

    Bm                   D                             F#m
And oh, maybe itʼs not wrong, ʼcause it sings a lovely song
                A
one that drifts on for so long

    Bm                  D                  F#m
And oh, baby letʼs not lie, itʼs eyes are alive
                       A
and pointed up shining light to the sky

Itʼs just our
