Lyrics

Press The Button

1.
Oh they have me programmed
For working in this wasteland
Where no man's allowed to be
Handling uranium,titanium
And other things
They say won't damage me
2..
My wires are crossed
I'm in a desperate need
My chips are down
I've burned a major lead
My gears are spinning
At an unknown speed
I've run aground
Electrically
3.
Engineers work frantically
Trying to find a fault in me
There's nothing there to see
Added lubrication
Or some extra information
Cannot help romanticly
4.
I need a perfect match
Mechanically
Someone whose wires will fuse
With those in me
My bolts are hanging loose
No way to be
I've run aground
Electrically
5.
Won't you help me
Boost my voltage
Watch that love gauge
It's quivering desperately
I've wanted you
I've wanted you
I've needed to
For so long

6.
Press the button
Pull the lever
Hope to get to
Her receiver
REPEAT

7.
Message in morse code
On a desperate note
Clear the lines
I'm coming through
8.
Many joints have rusted
And the way I move
I guess I must have
Blown another fuse
Though I can be trusted
To remove this toxic dust
I think
This time I will refuse
9.
My wires are cross
I'm in a desperate need
My chips are down

I've burned a major lead
My gears are spinning
Over and over and over again
So frantically
REPEAT 5,6
