Flesh and Bone (The Robot Song)
[Verse 1]
I am a robot guy
Made from junkyard metal
A thimble for my eye
My head was a tea kettle
I’ve got a spark plug brain
So I am prone to bust up
I can’t dance in the rain
'Cause I’ll corrode and rust up

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And able to actually feel
I wish I was flesh and bone
And not on my own
And happy and human and real

[Verse 2]
I’m roving through the park
I see a kind-looking lady
My chest emits a spark
I move to where it’s more shady
Some kids ask what I am
I speed away with defiance
I know that next to them
I just look like an appliance
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And loving the body I’m in
I wish I was flesh and bone
And never alone
With somebody touching my skin

[Bridge]
Oh, to rely on a battery
And not on me
To give me strength
Oh, how I try not to back away
But everyday
I keep keeping everybody at an arm’s-length
A cold and soulless, sad metallic arm’s-length

[Verse 3]
My charge is almost dead
I pull myself together
And I’m so in my head
I do not notice the weather
And as the wet winds gust
I trudge right into the mud
I see a little rust
And it reminds me of blood
[Chorus]
And even though I’m not flesh and bone
I’m not made of stone
I’m more than some discarded steel
Hey, I wish I was flesh and bone
And not on my own
But because I can freak out and feel
I think that that means that I’m real
Not human but actually real

[Chorus]
Hey, I’m feeling like I’m flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And loving the body I’m in
I feel like I’m flesh and bone
And never alone
And feeling you touching my skin

[Chorus]
Yeah I’m feeling like I’m flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And able to actually feel
I feel like I’m flesh and bone
And not on my own
And happy and robot and real
Yeah, happy and robot and real
Yeah, happy and robot and real
