things you should say to gay people: a thread
[Verse 1]
The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played
Inside my workshop behind the old arcade
Electric desires had unraveled all my wires
Now I'm in a box for safekeeping
The news reporters reported that I died
But all my organs were living on inside
Circuit board to brain with two lungs collecting change
Now I'm in a box for safekeeping
[Chorus]
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you, unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
[Verse 2]
Thank God for business, they let me take the floor
I stood so proudly, like I was going to war
Players soon appeared and I quickly was revered
Now I'm in a box, for safekeeping
Such dedication, they came from miles away
With eyes so piercing, they'd wait their turn to play
Perfect patient lines, because I was in their minds
Now I'm in a box, for safekeeping
[Chorus]
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
[Bridge]
I'm happy for years and years and
Only eating the occasional maintenance man
Only driving a few kids to madness
Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows?
I only want to have fun
But now they're telling me my days here are done
Cause there's a tiny little box they make in Japan (with a tiny person in there too, for safekeeping)
And pretty soon it's gonna fit in your hand
[Verse 3]
It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe
The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve
Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin
Now I'm in a box, for safekeeping
Now I'm in a box, for safekeeping
Now I'm in a box, for safekeeping
Now I'm in a box, for safekeeping
[Chorus]
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
