Artist/Band: Howard Jones
Lyrics for Song: Automaton
Lyrics for Album: Dream Into Action [1985]



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
