Lemon Demon - Cabinet Man
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 box-
For safe keeping
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
Perfect patient lines
Because I was in their minds
I could do whatever I felt like
(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 this tiny little box they make in Japan
And pretty soon it's goona 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-
And 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
