lyrics

ROBOGIRL
I’m sitting home, I’m watching the news
Trying to get a point of view, trying to figure out what is true

I watched all the shows, now I don’t know what I know
I know I ran out of beer and my stash is running low
I gotta get out of here, hell, maybe if I run
It’s just two blocks to the store
Be back before the devil knows I'm gone

I pull on my hoody, my fastest running shoes
Grab a bag and a mask, what else I got to lose?
Now I’m out the door, I might as well try to score

Streets quiet as the tomb, mist swirling round my feet
The is air thick and kind of slick, I find it hard to push on down the street

I make it to the corner of Lexington and Main
There’s a blood beat that’s pounding deep inside my hungry brain

Can't seem to focus, the store must be somewhere near
Yeah there's the neon sign but it's looking kind of smeared, blurred and weird.
I better watch out, think I better watch out,
You better watch out, watch your back
The walls have eyes, and everybody's in disguise
They can see into your dreams, and nothing means what it means what it means
Better watch your back Jack, better get your fill Jill

Something busted loose out of there
And I don't know what it is but it's headed this way
Something busted loose out of there
And I'm not sure what it is but it's headed this way, headed this way.
Everybody run, everybody hide,
Everybody keep your head down, boy you better stay inside
Something busted loose out of there
And I don't know what it is but it's headed this way

Looks kinda ... say, what is that it looks kinda...say what is that it looks kinda ... say what is that it looks kinda like a ... girl
And she's coming through the mist
And I like the way she moves but there's something mechanical
Something that I missed
Nah this ain't right
Hey baby what you doing out on the street at night?
You're walking all wrong, you singing
The wrong words to a different song
I don't know but it looks like you could be a robochick - nah
I don't know but it looks like you could be a robogirl
Nu-uh, that can't be, they don't have that right? Right. Right.
Nah, they don't have that
And if they did they wouldn't let it out loose on its own at night
Make a boy go downtown do a whole bunch of stuff that just ain't right.
There's a robogirl, on the loose (mechanical)
Nah that ain't right, come on man, it's fake news.
