[Intro]

Open the curtains

Lights on

Don't miss a moment of this experiment

Oh, the book is strange

Like clockwork orange

Keep your eyes buttered till the end


[Verse 1]

Which "you" are you going to be?

Inside the mirror do you see

Someone else in that body?


[Verse 2]

Dance for me, one and two and three and turn around

Sit like a doggy till I finish my read


[Chorus]

Cut it off, cut down your loss

All that stubborn loyalty is gonna get you killed

In a world built on convenient theories

For the puppets on TV

There is comfort in the strings

If you're gonna control me

At least make it interesting theatrically


[Verse 3]

How does it feel to be free?

"Why don't you try it yourself?" (Ha)

The gate opened on me


[Verse 4]

So I leaped down, down, down I go

I tell myself I'm a tough girl

Down, down, down I go

I could never, ever, ever touch the soil (oh!)

My heart goes right, my head goes left

And end up on your bed, huh


[Verse 5]

Sure, I'll be your marionette

Here, tug on my thread

Spread me open for dolly pink, Snow White, artificial beauty

Maybe we're all cold machines

Stuffed in the human skin

With human sins sewed up by the gods of city


[Chorus]

Cut it off, you've already lost

All that precious bravery is gonna get you hurt

In a world that feeds on the minority

May that self-centered belief lead you to peace

If you're gonna replace me

At least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly


[Verse 6]

When does it end for me?

Hmm, I think I am done with everything (Ha)

Now I'm ready to leave


[Verse 7]

Dragging out one line, two lines, three lines

Connect our hands

When I no longer can live on knowledge alone


[Outro]

You give me strength

Hopeful curiosity

Maybe there are still happy answers left for my discovery

What's the color of the electric sheep you see?

And if you love me

Can you love your everything too, for me?
