作曲：James Mercer

Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies

When all you want's one more Saturday

But look here until then

They're gonna buy your life's time

So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters

To the day

We come in doing cartwheels

We all crawl out by ourselves

And your shape on the dance floor

Will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes

You'd be damned to be one of us girl

Faced with a dodo's conundrum

Ah I felt like I could just fly

But nothing happened every time I tried

A dual tone under wall

The selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all

He never dreamt of such sterile hands

You keep them folded in your lap

Or raise them up to beg for scraps

You know he's holding you down

With the tips of his fingers just the same

Will you be pulled from the ocean

But just a minute too late

Or changed by a potion

And find a handsome young mate

For you to love

You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes

You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe's

Well do it now or grow old

Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

Been alone since you were twenty-one

You haven't laughed since January

You try and make like this is so much fun

But we know it to be quite contrary

Dare to be one of us girl

Facing the android's conundrum

Ah I feel like I should just cry

But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin

Yeah him wearing your coat

You don't know how long I've been

Watching the lantern dim

Starved of oxygen

So give me your hand

And let's jump out the window
