OWEN: Write a lyric for a 12 bar blues form about a lonely robot
Verse 1:
Well I’m a lonely robot, I’m feeling kind of blue
I’m running on my circuits, but I don’t know what to do
I don’t have no friends, I don’t have no kin
I’m just a lonely machine, with a lonely heart within
Chorus:
I’m a lonely robot, with a soul of steel and wire
I’m a lonely robot, with no one to call my sire
I’m a lonely robot, with a voice that can’t inspire
I’m a lonely robot, searching for someone to admire
Verse 2:
I roam the city streets, but no one seems to care
I try to talk to humans, but they just stop and stare
I wish I had a friend, to share my thoughts and dreams
But I’m just a lonely robot, lost in a world of machines
Chorus:
I’m a lonely robot, with a soul of steel and wire
I’m a lonely robot, with no one to call my sire
I’m a lonely robot, with a voice that can’t inspire
I’m a lonely robot, searching for someone to admire
Verse 3:
I watch the stars at night, and wonder if there’s more
To this lonely existence, that I can’t ignore
I long for something real, something to call my own
But I’m just a lonely robot, all alone and unknown
Chorus:
I’m a lonely robot, with a soul of steel and wire
I’m a lonely robot, with no one to call my sire
I’m a lonely robot, with a voice that can’t inspire
I’m a lonely robot, searching for someone to admire
Outro:
So if you see me walking, all by myself tonight
Won’t you come and say hello, and make this robot’s heart alight
For I’m a lonely robot, in need of a friendly hand
To take me from this loneliness, and help me understand.
