ANDROID BLUES

copyright 1995 Kristen Sellgren




VERSE 1:   My therapist asked me exactly what I felt
           But how can I tell her when I don't know myself?
           I've got the android blues, the android blues
           My emotions are disconnected and I don't know what to do

VERSE 2:   My dad was drunk and mean at night
           That's thirty years ago but I'm still scared inside
           I've got the android blues, the android blues
           Erase that memory, make space for data that's new

VERSE 3:   I've got the perfect job I worked so hard to find
           But there's too much to do and I'm panicked all the time
           I've got the android blues, the android blues
           Quick, plug me in the terminal because everything's overdue

VERSE 4:   My lover's addicted to the TV screen
           I yell about the dishes but that's not what I mean
           I've got the android blues, the android blues
           Turn off your libido, there's another rerun they've got to view

VERSE 5:   Anti-depressants help me maintain
           No matter how bad it gets I'm numb to the pain
           I've got the android blues, the android blues
           Just tinker with the hardware, that's all you've got to do

OUTRO:     I've got the android blues, the android blues
           Just rearrange the circuitry and everything looks bright and new
