THE UNAMUSEMENT PARK

hearts tend to stop.... and the nightmares start

she spends her life with her heart buried in the sand
fingers with mega-bytes from vermin in her hand
human emotions are alien to her
destroy the android if you want to save the world

a blacksmith turned away but he still felt the pain
he grabbed his hammer and he went to war again
damned if he ain’t the last one standing in the storm
tear down the gates of hell and let the world be born

(chorus)
inside the unamusement park
strange things happen after dark
hearts tend to stop and the nightmares start
inside the unamusement park

robotulism, it came from overseas
monochromatic zealots spreading their disease
he feels the hypodermic sting of acid rain
disoriented, she’s back in the park again

he sees the android climb a rusted ferris-wheel
in eerie darkness
for the power-switch the blacksmith feels....
frozen in lock-down until the hammer strikes
long dormant gears let out a groan amid the sparks

reincarnated, coloured lights in anger flash
the music whines away until it’s free at last
the ride begins to move
she’s not programmed for this
unbalanced now the android falls.... into the abyss
(chorus)

and now the blacksmith exits through a misty shroud
carries her body, just like a sleeping child
her inner works exposed, where no skin remained
the shining night dissolves into another day
(chorus)
