Flesh and Bone The Robot Song by Joe Iconis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am a robot guy
Made from junkyard metal
A thimble for my eye
My head was a tea kettle
I’ve got a spark plug brain
So I am prone to bust up
I can’t dance in the rain
'Cause I’ll corrode and rust up
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And able to actually feel
I wish I was flesh and bone
And not on my own
And happy and human and real
[Verse 2]
I’m roving through the park
I see a kind-looking lady
My chest emits a spark
I move to where it’s more shady
Some kids ask what I am
I speed away with defiance
I know that next to them
I just look like an appliance
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And loving the body I’m in
I wish I was flesh and bone
And never alone
With somebody touching my skin
[Bridge]
Oh, to rely on a battery
And not on me
To give me strength
Oh, how I try not to back away
But everyday
I keep keeping everybody at an arm’s-length
A cold and soulless, sad metallic arm’s-length
[Verse 3]
My charge is almost dead
I pull myself together
And I’m so in my head
I do not notice the weather
And as the wet winds gust
I trudge right into the mud
I see a little rust
And it reminds me of blood
[Chorus]
And even though I’m not flesh and bone
I’m not made of stone
I’m more than some discarded steel
Hey, I wish I was flesh and bone
And not on my own
But because I can freak out and feel
I think that that means that I’m real
Not human but actually real
[Chorus]
Hey, I’m feeling like I’m flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And loving the body I’m in
I feel like I’m flesh and bone
And never alone
And feeling you touching my skin
[Chorus]
Yeah I’m feeling like I’m flesh and bone
And not made of stone
And able to actually feel
I feel like I’m flesh and bone
And not on my own
And happy and robot and real
Yeah, happy and robot and real
Yeah, happy and robot and real
Nanana nanana nanana nanana nanana nana na na na na
