He arrived on the scene   With no past and no future   He seemed to know your dreams   Replace tears with laughter      Street corner whispers   Would mention his name   Selfish? benevolent?    What was his game      Some say he's perfect   Some say a spy   A hidden power   They all wonder why   The rumors mounted   But still no fact?    I need to find out   Some say perfect hidden power   We all wonder why      Questions unanswered   Suspicion alerted   I went round to his place   If felt quite deserted   I climbed the stairs to where   His body lay without motion   No spirit lives in there   The cord had been broken      His skin was reptile   No life in there   Not young not old   A long hollow glare   His breath had stopped   No hearts beat there   Is this a man   Should I believe hidden power   They all wondered why      My attention was caught   By a sound from the door   Panic gripped the mind   What lay in store   A being stared at me   Benevolent, not cold   Automaton - he is controlled      His skin was reptile.....      Automaton - no life in there   No past and no future   Is this a man   Automaton - no life in there   No past and not future   Is this a man
