Better Lyrics

Where did we go?

When was the moment that we broke in two?

I think I know

In fact I am sure I can blame it on you

I remember the first big surprise

The day you came home with your infrared eyes

I looked inside them, but all I could see

Were tiny reflections of me

But it's not me, it's you

What you're turning into

You're some kind of something

That I never knew

You used to be okay

And I liked you that way

But I don't think that I like you better

No I don't think that I like you better

Started out small

Some gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs

Now you're thirteen feel tall

Even when you're asleep your machinery hums

And I'm tired of the evenings I spend

Making small talk with your new robot friendsJonathan Coulton - Better - http://motolyrics.com/jonathan-coulton/better-lyrics.html

And their stupid insistence on scanning my iris

When they know damn well who I am

And you look like a victim of a surgical crime

A little Darth Vader, little Optimus Prime

You used to be okay

And I liked you that way

But I don't think that I like you better

No I don't think that I like you better

So that's how it goes

Snap your mandibles once to say you understand

Now hold me close

Wait, now that's too close, you're crushing my hand

I can tell by that shrieking alarm

That your weapon systems are active and on

Do me a favor, power them down, just so we don't have a scene

And I wish it was different but it's just not the same

At least we've got someone we know we can blame

You used to be okay

And I liked you that way

But I don't think that I like you better

No I don't think that I like you better
