Martha Tilston Artificial
I don't awake
I'm just sleep rising
I put on my clothes
Sleep gliding
Onto the bus
Sleep riding to work again
To work again
Swiping the door
Sleep lifting
Up to my floor
Sleep drifting
A number twenty-four
White coffee with a sweetener
A sweetener.
This artificial me
I'd like to show you what I really could be
I'd like to run across the office tables
Singing "No you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
And I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea"
I switch on my machine
Sleep typing
I answer the phone
Sleep hyping
Am I alone?
I don't really know what I'm selling
I'm selling
And the boss wants a word
I've been daydreaming
Boss wants a word
Clockwatching
I wish I was a bird
I'd fly right out of the window
The window
This artificial me
I'd like to show you what I really could be
I'd like to run across the office tables
Singing "No you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
And I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea"
I don't awake
I'm just sleep rising
I put on my clothes
Sleep gliding
Onto the bus
Sleep riding to work again
Swiping the door
Sleep lifting
Up to my floor
Sleep dritfing
A number twenty-four
White coffee with a sweetener
A sweetener.
This artificial me
One day I'll show you what I really can be
And I'll run across the office tables
Singing "No you didn't have me
No, no you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
No, no you won't have me
I'm not your company policy
A little more humanity please
I'm not the company policy
A little more humanity
I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea
And I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea
And I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea
And I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea
And I'll keep running 'til I reach the sea"
