lyrics

perfect things
imitating real things
imitating perfect things
imitating real things

the robot dreams of heartbreak
and the messy human dance with despair
while the human the human dreams of
sweet oblivion
and problems we can easily repair

my farfisa comes from the future
with knob to control the noise
there's no analog heart beating in its chest
but it parties like it's 1964

perfect things
imitating real things
imitating perfect things
imitating real things

o henry sang of the watch and the hair
comic irony polished to a sentimental glare
i traded my broken heart for this mechanical thing
and you corrupted your code so you could learn to sing
so here we are baby, so close we could touch
but the plot is twisted and the gears won't budge

perfect things
imitating real things
imitating perfect things
imitating real things
