In my love
Every heart is beating
I'm all love
Can't you feel me feeling?
Take my hand
Cold like a junkie
I'm an ice cold man
(I'm an ice cold man)
Why am I crying for you?

All this love I felt for you
Has gone away to another place
(It's a digital life)
I put my faith in a digital world
When they've given me
Eyes without a face
I'd steal the moon on silver nights
Remind myself I am someone
My soul is numb and for tonight
I'm automaton

I'm so tough
Can't you see me running?
See, I can touch
Can you feel me coming?
I see the world
In claws of freedom
These metal eyes, they can't disguise
The fact that I
Need something to believe in
But then I drug him for you

I said goodbye to the world I knew
And took off into inner space
(It's a digital life)
Weren't you the ones who promised me
A very different place?
I've powered up, get my program set
And turn my head toward the sun
Inside I know, I'm not a void
I'm automaton

Automaton
Automaton
Automaton
Automaton
Hey, you got me down underground
Gettin' holed up in my cyber lounge
As if I had time to break that down
(Automaton)
Whatever you can do I can override it
Got a million ways to synthesize it
Digital android, I can fight it
Fight it out
Automaton
(It's a digital life)
Automaton
(Digital life)
Automaton
(A digital life)
Automaton

Feel like a man who said to us
That this is not where I belong
They rule my life from a metal box
That's windowless
And I wonder where it all goes wrong
Maybe this dream will stay alive
But can the madness be undone?
Am I the new intelligence?

I'm automaton
I'm automaton
I'm automaton
I'm automaton
I'm automaton
I'm automaton
I'm automaton
It's a digital life
It's a digital life
You know I need something I can hold onto, hold onto
(You were all I knew)
(I'm automaton)
I need something
I can hold onto, hold onto
(This was all I knew)
