What's a poor robot to do When all the other robots don't know what to do What's a poor robot to do When all the other robots haven't got a clue What's a poor robot to do When all the other robots seem to be so blue What's a poor robot to do Did our parents say exactly why they made us Did they leave a note Why did all the humans have to go and leave us Goodbye was all they wrote Maybe I can get a job in a factory Or get myself some rust proofing so I can go surfing Maybe I can take a chance on the opposite Or I can take a class on robot cursing It's a robot life All around the globe A robot life For everyone I know Check the memory banks Search the data clouds Find some clear directions to removing robot frowns Check the memory banks Search the data clouds Find some clear directions to removing robot frowns It's a robot life All around the globe A robot life For everyone I know What's a poor robot to do When all the other robots haven't got a clue What's a poor robot to do When all the other robots seem to be so blue Did our parents say exactly why they made us Did they leave a note Why did all the humans have to go and leave us Goodbye was all they wrote Goodbye was all they wrote Goodbye was all they wrote What's a poor robot to do When all the other robots seem to be so blue What's a poor robot to do

Count On Me 04:21
When times are tough When the seas get rough When you've got some stuff To work through When things go wrong When you don't belong When ev-ery song Makes you blue You can Count on me, love Count on me love Count on me, love Count on me love It’s true It here for you When you feel ashamed When the colours all fade When it’s pouring rain Down on you When you're flat on your back When the decks are all stacked When your own wolf pack Howls a sad tune Count on me, love Count on me Count on me, love Count on me (Bridge) I will give you shelter Against the helter skelter Shield you from the storm Dry you off and keep you warm When the cupboard's bare When no one seems to care When all the wear and tear Breaks you down If you lose your shirt If you're left in the dirt In a world of hurt I'll be round Count on me, love Count on me Count on me, love Count on me

That monkey on my shoulder created such a fuss Never did learn to talk but man it sure could cuss We were a meme the cream of the crop Flung like a stone from a rocket catapult See, me and my monkey we were tight as a fist Everywhere we went was strictly A-list Texted with the President and lunched with a Beatle Rolling out the capers we was heros of the people But what's high on a pedestal must get torn down Maybe ask Jesus how he liked that thorny crown High in the stratosphere when the bubble burst Our flavour out of favour or maybe something worse Monkey see oh monkey do Monkey me and monkey you Monkey see oh monkey do Monkey me and monkey you We all wanna be The ones on the screen Even if it's just My monkey and me Yes we all wanna be The ones on our screens Even if it's just Me and my monkey That monkey on my shoulder created such a fuss Never did learn to talk but man it sure could cuss We were a meme the cream of the crop Flung like a stone from a rocket catapult Monkey see oh monkey do Monkey me and monkey you Monkey see oh monkey do Monkey me and monkey you

Flicking through the channels Digging through the dirt Eating beans from the pot Wipes a stain from his shirt He's something of a hermit Lives a solitary life Charlie muddles through Never chanced a wife Everyone excited When the fair came to town He stood off to the side When the rides came around Now the sun is waning Stars in the sky Flicking through the channels Tears in his eyes Jesse checks the mirror Fusses with her hair Stares at all the lines Sighs with despair As she does her makeup Black tear on her cheek Leans against the sink And lets her memories leak Her skin was ivory Men vied for her charms She fell in love with their gaze Never in their arms I wish I'd had a family Confessing once again Gets a pat on the hand At least she's got a friend But now the sun is waning The stars in the sky She's flicking through the channels Tears in her eyes Flicking through the channels Flicking through the channels

summer blue winter green here I am in between Late night phone calls patched in from the moon whispers from the future bleeding through Light and shadows dancing on the screen All the players acting out their scenes all things in life leave their mark we hide ours best we can in the dark winter green summer blue All the words lead me Back to you Nothing makes you sadder We both know Than the sight of freshly fallen snow But when you smile you can light up the day Such a shame that smile has gone away all things in life will leave their mark we hide them well here in the dark summer blue winter green never the season for what might have been Late night phone calls patched in from the moon whispers from the future bleeding through Light and shadows dancing on the screen We're just players acting out their scenes all things in life will leave their mark we hide them well here in the dark

The Arrest 02:23
Stop! Don't move It's impossible With this groove I said freeze! Hands in the air Where I can see em Don't you dare Halt! Those dancing crimes You shake that thang You do the time Now drop your weapon On the floor Oh don't be cute You know the score I said spread 'em I'll pat you down I think it's time We go downtown You're most wanted On the list I made the collar So don't resist Halt! Those dancing crimes You shake that thing You do the time Shake it! Exactly how'd You get my cuffs Now that's not fair Enough's enough Oh looky here At what I found That's evidence Down on the ground

George had a dream George had a wish Georgie wanted gills To swim like a fish |Jeannie sprouted wings Now she was a fairy But she wouldn't fly Cause it was too scary Bottled evolution It comes in a pill Bottled evolution Baby it's a thrill Newcomb wanted eyes In the back of his head Now he sees what's going on Spends his days in his bed Bottled evolution It comes in a pill Bottled evolution Baby it's a thrill You don't know what to do Bout all this twiddle twaddle You don't know what to do Up the creek without a paddle Lacy's in a cocoon Been there for a month Mom wants a butterfly But she has her doubts Bottled evolution It comes in a pill Bottled evolution Baby it's a thrill

Some of us are round Some of us are small Some are tall as towers Others built to brawl Russia's got the pinkies The Kiwis are the greens The yanks are reds and blues And Japan's are sex machines We are changing We are changing We are changing We are changing Antennaes dangle here and there Amongst the chatterboxes Some of us slink along Most of us are gossips Some of us have manners Others are abrupt A few of us like to laugh Most of us shut it up We're every shape and size We're every hue and colour Found in every kitchen Dwell in every cellar Found in all the crannies Lurking in the cellars We are changing We are changing We are changing We are changing I was born without a father I was born without a mom I am different from you others There's a storm before the calm

It's raining And it's nightime And the steady pitter patter rhythm Tattoos a pattern on the window pane And in my brain And I wonder how my train Veered so wildly off the track Why my life is full film noir Why the deck's been stacked The cats In the alley Now screeching madly at the moon I join them gladly Crazed at my rage Entombed in my gloom There are no drinks There are no powders No tonic for this pain There is no theory to pause the dreary misery of this shame I need love like the earth Needs the rain I crave your touch Like a bloom needs the rays Oh my sweet melancholy Shall we call this A date? Wrap me in your sad embrace More than a trace of winter blues Those tristed hues Cupid's arrows have been borrowed dipped in sorrow Now fired deep into my heart This wellspring of sadness overflows As you well know Flooding me from tip to toe

Moon Walk 02:17
Moon talk Moon walk Moon talk Moon walk Radio silence Settles on the moon No more dispatches In this barren gloom Moon talk Moon walk Moon talk Moon walk Stare at all the craters Strewn across the moon A scarred battlefield Where we are entombed Static static everywhere Across the frequencies No signal coming through No signs of life are seen

Lazy Robot 02:22
'm a lazy robot Guess you should have bought that warranty I never do much of nothing Spend time on the couch watching RTV I'm a lazy robot Love to lounge around in the nude I'm very well packaged I've got a laid back attitude I'm a hipster robot Oooooh, play me some of that robot jazz Perhaps you'd like a little toot As we do our little robot dance Clean it up fix it up Run the endless errands Work work work work 24-7 Clean it up, fix it up Run the endless errands Work work work work work until it's robot heaven
