Cook Robotic Chef
from An Unforgettable Luncheon by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Hey hey, it's a beautiful day
We never see the sun
But we don't need anyway
I know we're gonna be fine
'cause life is what you make it
And our life has been a hell of a ride
Old friend, your mechanical heart
Is beating for the both of us tonight
Beautiful monster
born in hell
Forged in the light of the fires of progress
The night that the jackboots hammered down
All over the city, legions of shadows peeled away
You never asked for this
But here's to your future...
Cook Robotic Chef
I want you to save me
Before you save yourself
You haven't looked too well for weeks
Robotic Chef
You know that I love you
Like only brothers do
From the rust of a thousand burnt out scrapyards
I've watched you come so far
I built you up
I'll tear you down before you leave me
To die here on my own amongst the rubble and the soil
So by design
I will align with human cruelty
I'm sure, Robotic Chef
You'll understand
Do you remember the sound and the glare of their flashlights?
I wouldn't expect you to know
Much except silence and snow
Beautiful monster
Caught in hell
Forged in the light of the fires of progress
The night that the jackboots hammered down
You never asked for this
But here's to your future...
We never see the sun
But we don't need anyway
I know we're gonna be fine
'cause life is what you make it
And our life has been a hell of a ride
Old friend, your mechanical heart
Is beating for the both of us tonight
Beautiful monster
born in hell
Forged in the light of the fires of progress
The night that the jackboots hammered down
All over the city, legions of shadows peeled away
You never asked for this
But here's to your future...
Cook Robotic Chef
I want you to save me
Before you save yourself
You haven't looked too well for weeks
Robotic Chef
You know that I love you
Like only brothers do
From the rust of a thousand burnt out scrapyards
I've watched you come so far
I built you up
I'll tear you down before you leave me
To die here on my own amongst the rubble and the soil
So by design
I will align with human cruelty
I'm sure, Robotic Chef
You'll understand
Do you remember the sound and the glare of their flashlights?
I wouldn't expect you to know
Much except silence and snow
Beautiful monster
Caught in hell
Forged in the light of the fires of progress
The night that the jackboots hammered down
You never asked for this
But here's to your future...
