lemon demon - cabinet man (band practice) lyrics

[verse 1]
the day they found me, i hadn’t yet been played
inside my workshop behind the old arcade
electric desires had unraveled all my wires
now i’m in a box for safekeeping
the news reporters reported that i died
but all my organs were living on inside
circuit board to brain with two lungs collecting change
one big human heart gently beeping

[chorus]
you can’t win me, i can’t be beat
i won’t hurt you unless you cheat
you can’t see me behind the screen
i’m half human and half machine

[verse 2]
thank god for business, they let me take the floor
i stood so proudly, like i was going to war
players soon appeared and i quickly was revered
this must be what love would have felt like
with eyes so piercing… they came from miles away
with eyes so piercing, they’d wait their turn to play
perfect patient lines, because i was in their minds
i could do whatever i felt like
[chorus]
you can’t win me, i can’t be beat
i won’t hurt you unless you cheat
you can’t see me behind the screen(?)
i’m half human and half machine

[bridge]
i’m happy for years and years and(?)
only eating the occasional maintenance man
only driving a few kids to madness
maybe they were just predisposed to madness, who knows?
i only want to have fun
but now they’re telling me my days here are done
cause there’s a tiny little box that they make in j+pan
and pretty soon it’s gonna fit in your hand

[verse 3]
i’m lonely, it’s getting hard to breathe
the arcade’s empty, i think it’s christmas eve
someone’s broken in, now they’re painting on my skin
breaking me and taking my quarters
bashing in my face with a crowbar
crushing me and tipping me over
now they see my blood on their sneakers

[chorus]
you can’t win me, i can’t be beat
i won’t hurt you unless you cheat
you can’t see me behind the screen(?)
i’m half human and half machine
