I was just a mixed up kid with a motorbike, bad hair and bad attitude.
You came and you saved me from untimely death by a razor spike through the head
Now when I go to bed I feel safe cos I know you don’t sleep
You don’t eat but won’t die, can’t age, can’t lie and you’re here to protect me.
I sent you back as a man but now you’re here and I’m a boy, on the run from some guy.
We’ll save the world together but when I ask you where you’re going, all you can say is...
I’ll be back.
John, I am just a robot but I’ve come to understand why it is that you shed a tear.
You see me as a father now but when I destroy the chip in my brain, you’ll have nothing to fear.
My fiery grave will be my last protection to save you from a world of devastation.
Hasta la vista, baby. Don’t be sad because you know...
I’ll be back.
