The pumping of blood
Mechanical heart
The hand of a surgeon
Permission to start
The beats are on time
They’re programmed as such
Mechanical music
Mechanical touch
Mechanical memory
Replacement of life
Once love’s served its purpose
Remove with a knife
Directions are written to show you the way
The slightest divergence will lead you astray
Just follow my voice filled with knowledge and charm
We swear you’ll be safe save for minimal* harm
