about

An electro-acousto-pop song set in a dystopian future, where a government scientist falls in love with an enemy android he has been commissioned to dismantle and study.

Later covered by alt-rock group Brazen Lungs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTOtjJwVKTE

lyrics

We tore apart, we tore apart,
Your power's off but do you dream?
Your brain and your robotic heart,
We tore apart at the seams.

Well baby sometimes I shiver and tremble
At the thought of you, disassembled,
Baby sometimes I can't shake the feeling
Now I've grown so tired of seeing you

Cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up,
I can't stand seeing you
Cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up,
I can't stand seeing you.

When all is lost, when all is lost,
When there is nothing left to find,
I know the cost, I know the cost,
I've left the valley behind.

Well baby sometimes I shiver and tremble
At the thought of you, disassembled,
Baby sometimes I can't shake the feeling
Now I've grown so tired of seeing you

Cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up,
I can't stand seeing you
Cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up,
I can't stand seeing you.

But can I make things right?
Patch you with tape.
We will slip out of sight
As we escape
But will that make things right?
Oh I think not.
I'm putting up a fight - for what?

Baby, sometimes I shiver and tremble
At the thought of you, disassembled
Baby sometimes I can't shake the feeling
Now I've grown so tired of seeing you

Cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up,
I can't stand seeing you
Cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up, cut up,
I can't stand seeing you.

Baby sometimes I shiver and tremble
At the thought of you, disassembled,
Baby sometimes I shiver and tremble
At the thought of you.
