A wave of sensations
Sweeps across the streets
The early morning market
And electric city heat
I forgot my lines the other day
The masked faces called me insane
I thought I saw an android pray
But wasn't it programmed to be that way
I thought I saw an android pray
A golem made of old wet clay
Unnerving stillness of the heart
The beats are too far apart
Can you hear the antique clock
x2
The plastic man will take your hand
And put it on display
Hold on to your humanity
Real skin is rare these days
Traders of flesh and bone
Lapping up blood around the throne
I thought I saw an android pray
But wasn't it programmed to be that way
I thought I saw an android pray
A golem made of old wet clay
Unnerving stillness of the heart
The beats are too far apart
Can you hear the antique clock
Unnerving stillness of the heart
The beats are too far apart
Can you hear the antique clock
It's always ticking when I talk
x2
I walk home safe every night
Nobody gives me any fright
But is this really my bed
Are these my own thoughts
In my own head
Unnerving stillness of the heart
The beats are too far apart
Can you hear the antique clock
It's always ticking when I talk
x2
