[Verse 1]

Stayed up endless nights

Like some Frankenstein

A cybernetic dream

Something like you've never seen


[Verse 2]

He knows every dance

Preprogrammed romance

When he looks at you

I'm watching, too

Through his video eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

He was made to play the part

He's no ordinary man

He was made to break your heart

He's the automatic man


[Chorus]

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic


[Verse 3]

His atomic heart

It has learned to feel

He cries electric tears

The impossible is real


[Pre-Chorus]

He was made to play the part

He's no ordinary man

He was made to break your heart

He's the automatic man


[Chorus]

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic


[Bridge]

I was such a lonely, lonely boy

Automatic was my toy

Never dreamed he would

Steal her away

Yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus]

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man

(Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)

He's the automatic man
