about

Sometimes you get more than you bargained for. An android develops feelings for her maker and must deal with his "need for space."

lyrics

The first time I laid eyes on you
Was the first time I could see
When you touched my hand and smiled
Your current charged through me
Though you made me to assist you
No way you could foresee
Your android aide whom you had made
Found love the master key

Chorus:
You made me who I am but I can’t change you
I show you how I feel but I can’t break through
This capacitive reactance
Now I see that we’re worlds apart
You can have your distance
But I’ll change the locks on my heart

I worry at your furrowed brow
As you tinker on for hours
And while you work I fantasize
That you would buy me flowers
Fierce heat inside me when you’re near
It threatens to destroy
My skin is made of cobalt-chrome
But my heart’s weak tin alloy

Chorus

You say that you need space
I need space, too
I just thought we’d see it together
Maybe even touch the moon

So I’ll leave you when you’re sleeping
You won’t see my strange tears gleam
For even though I cannot sleep
You’ve taught me how dream
If you knew some gears and circuits
And biochemical gel
Would make a robot who could love
Would you have done so well?

Chorus

It’s capacitive reactance
Now I see that we’re worlds apart
You can have your distance
But I’ll change the locks on my heart
