lyrics

so you are the cool giant robot who stomps through
our city so aimless all day
wrecking the world on your way
wishing someone’d just ask you to play

there are deep rusty holes now all over your body
you walked through the wrong factory
climbed up the one burning tree
and fell down the black coral sea

so you fire your warhead right up in the air
the mushroom cloud pretty and bright
like sunshine all through the night
and you’re finally feeling alright

but life’s like a rocket that flies through your ear
firing out the opposite side
destroying your white crying bride
and you can’t even say that you tried
