AUTOMATON
Automaton (written by Jay Kay & Matt Johnson) was released as the lead single from their eighth studio album.
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 man)
Why am I crying for you
All this love I felt for you
Has gone away to another place (it's a digital life)
I put my faith in a digital world
But they've given me
Eyes without a face
I steal the moon on summer nights
Remind myself I am someone
My soul is null and void tonight
I'm Automaton
I'm so tough
Can't you see me running
See I can't 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 (need something to believe in)
But they're not crying for you
I said goodbye to the world I knew
And took off into inner space (it's a digital life)
Weren't you the ones who promised me
A very different place
I power up, get my program set
And tilt my head towards the sun
Inside I know, I'm null and void
I'm Automaton
Automaton (x4)
Hey, you got me down underground
Gettin' 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 (fight it out)
Automaton (it's a digital life)
Automaton (digital life)
Automaton (digital life)
Automaton
Feel like a man, who fell to Earth
But 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 (x7)
It's a digital life (x2)
You know I need something
I can hold onto
Hold onto
You were all I knew (I'm Automaton)
I need something
I can hold onto
Hold onto
This was all I knew (I'm Automaton)
