Modest Mouse Lyrics

11. Steam Engenius

I was born in the factory
Far away from the milky teat
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?

You cheered are split in half
A mechanical sacrificial calf for you.
Oh, all for you.

Steam engenius, you see
Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need
But what's the use?

Human nature was installed in me,
I did what's right but naturally it wasn't natural
Still not my fault.
No.

I held my hands
The beating heart of a robot.
He'd lost his car
It was sitting there crying out
waiting in the parking lot
Just for you going
"Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo".

What a waste of time
What a waste of words
What a waste of strength
Well, I spoke in binary
and you for volume and dizzying length.

I was born in the factory
Far away from the milky teat
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?

Birds flew out as I was split in half
A mechanical sacrificial calf.
They flew. Oh, out they flew.

Steam engenius, you see
Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need
And ah that speed.

I held my hands
The beating heart of a robot.
He'd lost his car
It was sitting there crying out
waiting in the parking lot
Just for you going
"Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo".

What a waste of time
What a waste of words
What a waste of strength
Well, I smoke in my air
And you spoke far
You meant for dizzying lay

Both halves are the better half
Like a joke trying to 
make another joke laugh. Ha! Ha!

Stasis is what you brought
Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw
Rickshaw..

In the past talking present tense
Gonna break it
Gonna wreck it
Gonna try to make it all make sense

Stasis is what you got
Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw

Steam engenius, you see
Steam engenius enough to bring my own damn doom
What could I do?

I blame blamed that blame had grew
Well, deep inside everybody knew it was them
It was all on them

Things rang of stories Greek
I didn't want it, you gave me deity
It was you.
Yeah, all for you.

I was born in the factory.
Far away from the milky teat.
What's the use?
Oh, what is the use?

I held my hands
The beating heart of a robot.
He'd lost his car
It was sitting there crying out
waiting in the parking lot
Just for you going
"Woo-hoo,Woo-hoo!

I was thought up by man
To think better then them,
Then revered, admired,
Then destroyed by them
Hell even that was my own damn plan.

What a waste of time
What a waste of words
What a waste of breath
Well, I spoke it by now
You broke your thought
You meant for (?)

I held my hands
The beating heart of a robot
He driven his car
He's sitting there crying
Now waiting for you in the parking lot
Going woo-hoo

Stasis is what you got
Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw
