Metal Cover · Gary Numan

we're in the building where they make us grow
and i'm frightened by the liquid engineer
like you

my mallory heart is sure to fail
i could crawl around the floor just like i'm real
like you

the sound of metal i want to be you
i should learn to be a man
like you

plug me in and turn me on
oh everything is moving

i need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
singing "i am an american"
do you?

picture this if i should make the change
i'd love to pull the wires from the wall
did you?

and who are you and how can i try?
here inside i like the metal
don't you?

all i know is no one dies
i'm still confusing love with need
