ROBOT SONG


A metaphor? (Du Santiago/ Laverne)

I wish I had a heart
I'd call it Tiger
And wrapped in silver thread
I'd tie it to my chest
To bring you home

I wish I had a car
And bit's of wire
To tie you to the seat
I'd drive you to the beach
And keep on going

And I know where I've been stung
When I'm trapped inside my bed
Feel my flesh begin to swell
I'm an evil shade of red

I hat the taste of skin
It's terrifying
Reminds me of the truth
That biting bits of you
CAn bring you home

And I hate
The sweet taste
And these miracles
I feel it in my skin
Know in my head
When you touch me

I am still awake at night
When my eyes are full
of pictures of the day
But not quite right
Just to bring you home

I'm so lucky
I can pick my feelings
I never want to cry
I'm so ugly
But I pick my feelings
So I choose not to mind
It's true
To you
It must seem sad
I know
It all
And I'm not sad
Believe me
Cos I choose not to be

I wish I had the skill
To stop my thinking
To concentrate each breath
To make sure that it's done
It's not instinctive.
