Q.O.T.S.A. on the hi-fi We were talking via wi-fi So much Aqua Teen and sci-fi I was, ''oh, my'' When he said, ''I love you, girl'' It was 4 in the morning It's a simple computation You take easy conversation Add erotic exploration, adoration But when he said, "I love you, girl" It should have come with a warning He said I gotta go, go, go cause it hurts to feel I'm gonna run, run, run like a man of steel And I could try, try, try to stay in the fight But when push comes to shove We are only robots in love In the afternoons when we lay like spoons Everything was more than o.k. And I saw no sign of your flawed design I guess I wasn't made that way So he started to malfunction and it hit me like a punch In all our hours of connection and affection When he said, "I love you, girl" It was only science fiction! Go, go, go cause I need to feel I'm gonna run, run, run into something real And I could stay, stay, stay and put up a fight But when push comes to shove We were only robots in love

Five, four, three, two, one… Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody stole my heart I turned my back for just a tick and it was gone Now nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody speaks my name I’m just another blister in the mouth of shame A bug in Ender’s Game Honey, two can play Cho: Hey, little baby, what would you say If I took you further away Now that countdown’s begun Counting backwards to 1 On and on the endless debating You get home and nobody’s waiting Countdown’s begun Five, four, three, two, one… Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody jumped the gun Oh-oh-oh they go just as quickly as they come Now nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody understands The promises between a woman and a man Don’t always go as planned Honey, take a stand Cho: Will you take the time to come inside? (x8) Hey, little baby, what would you say If I took you further away Now that countdown’s begun Counting backwards to 1 On and on the ethical breeches Just to have a taste of the peaches The injury’s done But nobody’s one 5, 4, 3, 2… 5, 4, 3, 2… Out on the starboard! And from the portside! Here come the blitzkrieg! They beat a valentine drum! Out on the starboard! And from the portside! Here come the blitzkrieg, blitzkrieg Counting back to 1

I’ve got the frequency to turn you on I’ve got the frequency to turn you on Superconductor, keep it goin I’ve got the frequency to turn you on Hey there, tin smiles I’ve been loading down your files Moving up your dials and I think I know what’s goin’ on I am programmed Clicky-click at your Command Shift for a man with the heart of an automaton Automaton – hey! I’ve got the frequency to turn you on I’ve got the frequency to turn you on Superconductor, keep it goin I’ve got the frequency to turn you on All you seek and everything that you crave is coming through to me, it’s like a radio wave All you seek and everything that you crave is coming through to me, it’s like a radio wave Me for the job Got my hand upon the knob Party is athrob if you’re thinking that you wanna come Listen in, baby, I know where you been When the sticky on your skin Is a shiny aluminium Aluminum! Hey!

So Long To U 04:05
War for The mainframe Battles of the human heart r really quite the same Life is Quite a show But nothing I’ve seen ever taught me how 2 let things go So long to you, so long to you So long to you, so long to you Oh, now I cried & cried As tho a sea of tears would somehow float u 2 my side 1 learns 2 lose When choices r btwn 2 things that 1 would never choose So long to you, so long to you So long to you, so long to you If I’m walking its b/c there’s nothing left 2 do Left on dry land w/ a memory I’ll wrap it in a boat & push you gently off to sea So long to you, so long to you So long to you, so long to you So long to you, so long to you If I’m walking its b/c there’s nothing left 2 do If we ever meet again I’ll know that dreams come true
