lyrics

HEART OF TIN
(Moimir Papalescu / Peter Van Krbetz / Leon Stevenson)

The city is dead, there is space to explore
A glimpse of the future a peek through the door
Leave the old station as rocket fuel burns
To faraway places and never return.
Oh oh my heart of tin
Wake me up from this dream - so i can start again
Why can’t we live together in harmony
Instead of living with antagony
It’s nature’s way, it’s the way of man
Kill everything that they don’t understand
When I take you on down the time-line
You can feel they’re playing tricks with your
mind
I know you wanna get it, wanna feel my soul
But I’m just drifting away, I wanna leave my own
home
Here I sit counting zeroes and ones
Things would be better if my dog had thumbs
The humans have left and to my chagrin
It played upon my heart of tin
Oh oh my heart of tin
wake me up from this dream - so i can start again
When I take you on down the time-line
You can feel they’re playing tricks with your
mind
I know you wanna get it, wanna feel my soul
But I’m just drifting away, I wanna leave my own
home
This is the story about love and hate
We’ve blown it away, we’ve sealed our fate
Isolation and broken dreams
We keep the faith in old machines
Oh my heart of tin
When I take you on down the time-line
You can feel they’re playing tricks with your
mind
I know you wanna get it, you wanna feel my soul
But I’m just drifting away, I wanna leave my own
home
I was made to serve , I was built to obey
Metal skin, heart of tin now I’m a lonely castaway
The dogs are alright they say they want me
around
But the mutants kicked another bloody anthill
down
Wake me up
