A heart of steel, a mind of metal
Fake hair, fake skin
A smile with no feeling
The coin is tossed back and forth
The gun flashes, the bullet thuds
Blue light to mark you out
Wires are sparking, the rain is falling
You know your name, your purpose clear
Find a home, prove your point
Glowing hands, holding tight
Two machines, care in their hearts
Will they be spared for their love?
Run as fast and as hard as you can
A pinball rocketing back and forth
Keeping her safe from harm
A little one, strange but the same
Help her, save her, fight to survive
A heart of steel, a mind of metal
Fake hair, fake skin…
And a smile so pure
