The Robot Boy

[tactheantidog]

He kept his ashes on a tray
He kept hers in a jar
And her pocket bible still can't say
Where all his children are

Honey, honey, don't you stray
Don't ever wander too far
Honey, honey, don't betray
This meekly falling star

A robot boy dances deep within the cosmic mind
He never dies, but realize you must leave the boy behind

Our sorry rag-clad fleets
Riding high horses through hell
Build barricades in strange streets
That we once knew so well

Revolution's heart retreats
From the revolting swell
This barricade just completes
Our homemade prison cell

A robot boy dances deep within the cosmic mind
He never dies, but realize you must leave the boy behind

The ghost in your answering machine
Is one more secret I can't keep
And I can tell you what I mean
But only before the beep

Is there no pity left to glean?
Is there no love still left to reap?
Is there no truth to what I've seen;
A deeper heart that cannot sleep?

A robot boy dances deep within the cosmic mind
He never dies, but realize you must leave the boy behind
