Crow's Breakdown

Malfunction, malfunction Says the broken machine, cold and clean Mal...mal...malfun....malfun...malfunction Error, error System overload, overlapping with firewall breakdown What, what, what's the protocol Answer to the dial tone at all Blank, the direct word you're looking for blank you bland suit Don't sue, you can't sue me You're wearing blue Error, error This does not compute Wait what does compute mean again Rattle my cages, erase the bonding stripes Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be tuna in a tin can Listen to the waves of Coke fizzling down your throat Does it tickle or does it hurt No wait don't tell me It hurrrrrrrrrrts like a 1000 gigahertz I'm worth a foot in the door, phantamgasmore Penelope Tate is Pepper Ann Beautiful and frail come & get me Save the day Well dont just stand there, kiss the girl So says a singing crab at the bottom of the sea A hole in the bottom of the sea Repeated by once a one year old singing Brian Adams Error...error...system malfunction M...m...m...my world seems to malfunction around me My karma, my bad luck, they run amuck over me I want to kick, scream Scream profanities but I can't open my snake like jaws with malice So I'll just shout out at the sky instead But did I forget who I am A being of circuits and wires Why...why...why...why...do I feel the need to be human I can't sleep, I can't see without some sort of light I aim to please my creators, my employers Everyday I break down, I break down, I break down Filling with steam and smoke Rising from anger but can I feel anger Do I feel anything Wait am I supposed to feel anything Error...error...error...error System malfunction Abandon this time machine, over and out captain Says Claudio in a war with imaginary beings unable to understand the things they do to themselves This disillusioned mann...mann...manner of thinking This hard rip right into the hip, a cold tip pressed to the ear But I don't have ears, just an antenna I think, I can't think at all Error...error...system mal....
