I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue, in always being cool
So it came time to fight
I thought "I'll just step aside"
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
Oh. To fight is to defend
If it's not now then tell me when
Would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment
oh that
I was the fool
I don't know where the sunbeams end
And the starlight begins
It's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides
What's right for his own life
It's all a mystery
'Cause I'm a man, not a boy
And there are things you can't avoid
You have to face them
When you're not prepared to face them
If I could I would
But you're with him, now it'd do no good
I should've fought him
But instead I let him
I let him take it

Unit three thousand twenty-one is warming
Makes a humming sound
When its circuits duplicate emotion

And a sense of coldness detaches
As it tries to comfort your sadness

One more robot learns to be
Something more than a machine
When it tries the way it does
Makes it seem like it can love

Cause it's hard to say what's real
When you know the way you feel
Is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does

Feeling a synthetic kind of love
Dreaming a sympathetic wish
As the lights blink faster and brighter

One more robot learns to be
Something more than a machine
When it tries the way it does
Makes it seem like it can love

Cause it's hard to say what's real
When you know the way you feel
Is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does

Her name is Yoshimi
She's a black belt in karate
Working for the city
She has to discipline her body

'Cause she knows that
It's demanding
To defeat those evil machines
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me

Those evil-natured robots
They're programmed to destroy us
She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins

'Cause she knows that ('cause she knows that)
It'd be tragic (it'd be tragic)
If those evil robots win (evil robots)
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

'Cause she knows that ('cause she knows that)
It'd be tragic (it'd be tragic)
If those evil robots win (evil robots)
I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots defeat me

Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don't believe me
But you won't let those robots eat me

Yoshimi

[No lyrics]

In the morning I awake
And I couldn't remember
What is love and what is hate
The calculations error

Oh, what is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Is to love just a waste?
And how can it matter?
Oh.....

As the dawn began to break
I had to surrender
The universe will have it's way
Too powerful to master
Oh.....

What is love and what is hate?
And why does it matter?
Oh.....
What is love and what is hate?
And how can it matter?
Oh.....

I was waiting on the moment,
But the moment never came
All the billion other moments,
Were just slipping all away.

(I must have been drifting) we’re just slipping all away
(Just ego tripping)

I was wanting you to love me
But your love it never came.
All the other love around me
Was just wasting all away.

(I must have been tripping) was just wasting all away
(Just ego tripping) was just wasting all away
(Must have been tripping)

I was waiting on the moment
But the moment never came
(must have been dreaming) but the moment never came
(just ego tripping) but the moment never came
(must have been tripping) but the moment never came
(just ego tripping) but the moment never came
(must have been dreaming) but the moment never came

But the moment never came.

I had forgiven you for tricking me again.
But I have been tricked again into forgiving you.
What is this?
Are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around.
The sun eclipse behind the cloud.
I thought I recognized your face amongst all of those strangers.
But I am stranger now amongst all of the recognized.
What is this?
Are you some kind of hypnotist?
Waving your powers around.
The sun eclipse behind the cloud.

It's summertime
And I can understand if you still feel sad
It's summertime
And though it's hard to see its true possibilities
When you look inside, all you'll see
When you look inside, all you'll see
Is a self reflected inner sadness
Look outside
I know that you'll recognize
It's summertime

Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?

Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your good-byes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize?

Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your good-byes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?

Do you realize?

As logic stands you couldn't meet a man
Who's from the future.
But logic broke
As he appeared he spoke
About the future

"We're not gonna make it"
He explained how the end will come
You and me were never meant to be
Part of the future

All we have is now
All we've ever had is now
All we have is now
All we've ever had is now

I noticed that he had a watch and hat that looked familiar
He was me
From a dimension torn free
Of the future

"We're not gonna make it"
He explained how the end will come
You and me were never meant to be
Part of the future

All we have is now
All we've ever had is now
All we have is now
All we've ever had is now
