Modest Mouse Steam Engenius

I was born in the factory
Far away from the milk and teat
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?

You cheered as I was split in half
A mechanical, sacrificial calf for you
All for you

Steam engenius, you see?
Steam engenius, enough to answer anything you need
But what's the use?

Human nature was installed in me
Well I acted once right, but naturally it wasn't hatching love
Though not my fault, no

I held my hands, the beating heart of a robot
He left his car, it's sitting there burning now, waiting in the parking lot, just for you
What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength
But I suppose that by now you put forth all your effort, dizzy and late

I was born in a factory
Far away from the milk and teat
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use

Bliss through waters, I was split in half
A mechanical, sacrificial calf that flew
Oh, off they flew

Steam engenius you see?
Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need
And I like speed

I held my hands, the beating heart of a robot
He left his car, it's sitting there burning now, waiting in the parking lot, all all for you
What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength
But I suppose that by now you put forth all your effort, dizzy and late
[I was born in the factory]

Both hassle men, half like a joke trying to make another joke laugh
Ha ha

Stasis is what you got, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw, rickshaw

In the past talking present tense
Gonna break it, gonna wreck, gonna try to make it all make sense

Stasis is what you got, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw

Steam engenius you see?
Steam engenius enough to bring my own damn doom
What could I do?

I've been blamed then blamed the groom
While deep inside everybody knew it was them
It's caught on them

Things rain in stories Greek
I didn't want it, you gave me deity it was you
Yeah, all for you

I was born in a factory
Far away from the milk and tea
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?

I held my hands, the beating heart of a robot
He left his car, it's sitting there burning now, waiting in the parking lot, just just for you
I was brought up by man to think that I'm better then them, then reviered, admired, and then destroyed by them

Hell, that was own damn plan.

Well what a waste of time, waste of words,
a waste of breath
But I suppose that by now you put forth all your effort, couldn't anyway

I held my hands, the beating heart of a robot
He left his car, he's sitting there crying out, waiting in the parking lot, going whoo-hoo

Stasis is what you got, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw
