Automaton fights for his family Protecting them from the threats all around But deep in his chest is one broken gear It keeps his feet dragging on the ground
Well, it burns when he runs, and he coughs when he jumps It grinds and it scrapes when he flies He's not sure if he's going to get another one And if he doesn't, he could die
Well, every day the gear gets looser Shaking, rattling, rusty and bent And lately automaton fingers the sore And wonders if he will live through the rent
Well, it burns when he runs, and he coughs when he jumps It grinds and it scrapes when he flies He's not sure if he's going to get another one And if he doesn't, he could die
