Robot Boy ( The GOASST )
Gm F#
On the first day, it started to rain
C# C#m
Children were laughing, and went out to play
Gm F#
But soon all the streets, were rivers and streams
C# F
And creatures were trickling in front of the deep
Eb Gm
Cars floating like ships, over skyscraper tips
Eb7 D7
The tallest of trees swaying like seaweed
G F Bb
Aluminum and paper clips
F Cm D Eb Bb
Refrigerator parts and microchips
G F Bb
A rudimentary robot boy
F Cm CmX
A heart of rubber bands and broken toys
Gm F#
Just before dusk, afraid he might rust
C# C#m
He climbed aboard, an upside down bus
Gm F#
With bottle-cap eyes, he soon realized
C# F
That nobody else, but he had survived
Eb Gm
Sifting through the debris, of kindred machines
Eb7 D7
Drifting through a graveyard, of sunken cities

A rudimentary robot boy

A heart of rubber bands and broken toys
Gm F#
For thirty nights, with no land in sight
C# C#m
He never was hungry, or lonesome or tired
Gm F#
His mechanical brain, could not go insane
C# F
His metallic skin, could never feel pain
Eb Gm
The whales gathered round, in sibilant sound
Eb7 D7
They told him about, the only way out:
B Em
"If you want to survive, if you want to shine…
A D
Then you've got to find, someone of your kind
B Em Em7
As they pulled him away, across the waves"
He saw a pretty face, made of tin cans and lace

Aluminum and balloon lips
F Cm D Eb Bb
Refrigerator parts and cardboard hips

A rudimentary robot girl

A heart of rubber bands and plastic pearls
