The day they found me,

I hadn't yet been played

Inside my workshop behind the old arcade

Electric desires

Had unraveled all my wires

Now I'm in the bo for safekeeping

The news reporters reported that I died

But all my organs were living on inside

Circuit board to brain with

two lungs collecting change

One big human heart gently beeping

You can't win me, I can't be beat

I won't hurt you unless you cheat

You can't see me behind the screen

I'm half human and half machine

Thank God for business,

they let me take the floor

I stood so proudly,

like I was going to war

Players soon appeared and

I quickly was revered

This must be what love

would have felt like

Such dedication, they

came from miles away

With eyes so piercing, they'd

wait their turn to play

In perfect patient lines

because I was in their minds

I could do whatever I felt like

You can't win me, I can't be beat

I won't hurt you unless you cheat

You can't see me behind the screen

I'm half human and half machine

I'm happy for years and years

And only eating the

occasional maintenance man

Only driving a few kids to madness

Maybe they were predisposed

to madness, who knows?

I only want to have fun

But now they're telling

me my days here are done

'Cause there's a little

tiny bo they make in Japan

And pretty soon it's

gonna fit in your hand

It's getting lonely, it's

getting hard to breathe

The arcade's empty, I

think it's Christmas Eve

Someone's broken in, now

they're painting on my skin

Breaking me and taking my quarters

Bashing in my face with a crowbar

Kicking me and pushing me over

Now they see my blood on their sneakers

You can't win me, I can't be beat

I won't hurt you unless you cheat

You can't see me behind the screen

I'm half human and half machine
