Cut your life into the steel

Take your place behind the wheel

Watch the metal scene just peel away

Don't forget me, don't regret me

Don't replace and don't upset me

But don't forget to come and get me someday



I was somewhere far away

But I knew I couldn't stay

German girls in an expose

Sitting on an empty train

Staring at the winter rain

Going through the scene again and again



Poor tormented automan

Giant pincers for a hand

Sinking slowly in the sand

Chrome injury on his cheek

Three days strong, four days weak

Listen as he tries to speak

If only I could feel



Falling down standing still

Always there's more time to kill

Flamingos startled in a shrill display

Don't forget me, don't regret me

Don't replace and don't upset me

But don't forget to come and get me some day



If I only wasn't steel
