Prom Night 2208
The leisure deck of Starship Zircon-4 is looking great
And yeah, my mom set up my date
Tess is Gamma Class Elite
A recon droid who transferred here last month from Echo Fleet
Mom said, "Now, Kyle, you be sweet"
Prom night 2208
My date is weird and human, but hey, prom! I still can't wait
I know that he's in love with Kate
Makes sense, Kate is pretty cute
The human males all seem to like her, Kyle followed suit
He and I just don't compute
Yeah, she knows it's just a friend thing
Read the signals that he's sending
And it's clear our core directives don't align
So I'll give in to compunction
Run this routine social function
And this automated evening will be fine
Yeah, this automated evening will be fine
Quick pose!
Holo-vid, then schmooze
Jason used a cloaking ray to smuggle in some booze
I like your earrings
I like your shoes
Food's here!
Have some BioPaste
Let me switch my flavor sensors on and have a taste
Hey, this evening's not a waste
Dinner's over, time for dancing
So we do, and then I'm glancing
Up and seeing my reflection in your face
And I feel like I could zoom in
And see all of being human
As we sway together here in outer space
Oh, we sway together here in outer space
A tap on my shoulder breaks the trance
Kate!
Kate...
Wants to borrow me for just one dance
Okay?
Okay...
Thanks, Tess
Here's my big chance
Here's my big chance
And I know it was a friend thing
So there's no use in pretending
I just grab my backup charger and I go
He doesn't want me with him
I don't fit his algorithm
I don't need to run the numbers, I just know
My cheek in her hair
(Screw being human)
My hands on her dress
(Screw being human)
Kate pulls me close
(Screw being human)
And I think of Tess
I think of Tess
I think of Tess
Tess
And I'm sprinting like a moron
Through the Starship Zircon-4 on
Shaky legs until I reach the hangar bay
And I'm praying it's not empty
And you'll be there and you'll tempt me
Into saying everything I want to say
Into saying everything I want to say
Prom night
2208
I wanted one more dance with you, I hope I'm not too late
Ask me, I won't hesitate
One dance, then you can hit the brakes
You shouldn't fall for me, 'cause humans all are lousy flakes
Kyle,(yeah?)
I'm a robot
I don't make mistakes
I don't make mistakes
