Last night I saw Across your bedroom floor The sketches you made For robot boy You took the tv apart To build his loveless heart And you traded your grief For his robot joy And I only just made The last train home Cos we were up late Teaching him to talk In morse code And if he helps you Get through your exams I think he'll do just about anything That we programme But all he asks When we show him the night sky Is why a satellite looks like The back of his hand And we wanna tell him He's the only friend we've ever had But he wouldn't be able to understand I mean he can't even name Your favourite band He got overexposure From the wires in my toaster So I told him That I'd skip breakfast too And that day when we went swimming I couldn't bring myself to tell him If he jumped in he wouldn't climb back out And there are so many things That I'll never be able to explain And he thinks he's just like All the other kids that he plays with If I could just figure out Where to put away the memories I have with him now When we finally have to take him apart Because he deserves the world Just not the one we made for him And all he asks When we show him the night sky Is why a satellite looks like The back of his hand And we wanna tell him He's the only friend we've ever had But he wouldn't be able to understand I mean he can't even name Your favourite band Robot Boy
