A Junkyard Love

Show me all the sunshine from your memory
You said with a sparkle although you don't know what you mean
Plug in, carry wonders through electricity
You were the material we made into our dreams

Show me all the melodies of humanity
I'll tell you about the brightest of them and the rest you won't see
Back when I said I could make you human
I hadn't the slightest idea of what you would end up being

Look up by the park again
The mountain of rubble grows taller every time
Light up in the dark again
Only two hours until the sunrise
Higher and higher
Wreckage and tires
Beeping tells me that your battery's empty
Come into my hand and we'll make this climb
Onto the junkyard and into the sky

We hid from the roaring of the city without people
But how much longer can we hold on
Jump over the wreckage amid the scent of rust and oil
And sing with me under the starlight

Look on up into the sun and tell me what you're seeing
If you reach the summit still powered
So, if not today, since you've become so very quiet
We'll climb this thing again tomorrow

Like a puzzle, everything fits into place
Let's count all our blessings I ended up right next to you
Plug in, carry wonders through electricity
Find some more material I can add to you this time, too

Stand up in the park again
Made you a battery full of my own love
Sleep on by the stars again
Smaller capacity than the last one
Higher and higher
Faster, I'm tired
Don't look around at all of the things like me
Up on the junkyard, melt into the sky
Search for love without humanity

So, I saw the fire above the city without people
But will it still be there tomorrow
Crawl under the carriages bleeding phosphorus and steel
And find an old mattress to sleep on

Here, among the things just like us
Thought this wasn't so bad
And that you could one day be human
So, came the day when your gaze escaped into the city
I fell off the path you could follow

And now, it crumbles
The fountain of dreaming
By pure, and righteous
The sun will still rise

The parts that made you
The mountain of pieces
The fall was silent as both of our lives

Light's gone out
From your eyes
Keep it that way so you don't see me crying

Can you hear me

So, I caught a glimpse above the city without people
And somehow you were right beside me
Sleep under the concrete sky, into the total darkness
And sing with me by what was starlight

So, until the day I find a plug to fill your wonders
Won't this memory do just fine
Pick all of the pieces of the puzzle off the soil
And sing what you learned by the starlight

We hid from the roaring of the city full of people
We'll do it again in the morning
So, if not today, since you've become so very quiet
I'll tell you about it tomorrow
