Robot Man
The Epoxies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crave communication
See me this is my life in the crazy robot man reservation
Do you feel him, the cold vibration
'Cause a man everywhere, produce a crazy science fiction creation
And I say oh, oh
I'm a robot man
And I say oh, oh
I'm a loser

I say oh, oh
I'm a robot man
I lost my mind
I lost my life
I lost my soul
Babe, it's a magic station
Where we live what we do with our magic from my generation
I say babe, it's not a vision
It's reality, this is a robot scene what we live in.
And I say oh, oh
I'm a robot man
And I say oh, oh
I'm a loser
I say oh, oh
I'm a robot man
I lost my mind
I lost my life
I lost my soul
And I say oh, oh
I'm a robot man
And I say oh, oh
I'm a loser
I say oh, oh
I'm a robot man

And I say oh, oh
I'm a loser
