HOWARD JONES lyrics : "Automaton"

He arrived on the scene
With no past and no future
He seemed to know your dreams

Replace tears with laughter

Street corner whispers

Would mention his name
Selfish? Benevolent?
What was his game


Some say he's perfect
Some say a spy

A hidden power
They all wonder why
The rumours mounted

But still no fact?
I need to find out
Some say perfect hidden power

We all wonder why

Questions unanswered

Suspicion alerted
I went round to his place
If felt quite deserted

I climbed the stairs to where
His body lay without motion
No spirit lives in there

The cord had been broken

His skin was reptile

No life in there
Not young not old
A long hollow glare

His breath had stopped
No hearts beat there
Is this a man

Should I believe hidden power
They all wondered why


My attention was caught
By a sound from the door
Panic gripped the mind

What lay in store
A being stared at me
Benevolent, not cold

Automaton - He is controlled

His skin was reptile.....


Automaton - No life in there
No past and no future

Is this a man
Automaton - No life in there
No past and not future

Is this a man
