about

Dedicated to TS and P. For A.

I was initially inspired to take a very sad acoustic song and turn it into a party song after listening to a lot of Blondie and St. Vincent. I once heard Annie Clark say she wanted to make her record "Party record you could play at a funeral." I really like that concept and I felt it would conceptually be a chance to step outside of my comfort zone, sonically speaking.

When I decided to try this approach, I thought Randy and Chris would be hesitant but they both dug in and really ran with the direction and took it beyond what I imagined. After the last track, I didn't expect I would be tuning 808 bass beats on this song, or ever for that matter.

I really hope you enjoy this song and feel it complements the Fourtracula catalog of songs. I cannot wait for you to hear the rest of the record. We have some really weird and catchy material coming.

lyrics

Automaton
Automaton
Automaton of emotion
Automaton
Automaton
Automaton of emotion

I thought you were my friend
I thought that we would never end
You saw under my skin
The person not the mannequin

Anyone but me
Will do it for you
Anyone
Automaton you're the one
Anyone but me
Will do it for you
Anyone
Automaton power on

Automaton
Automaton
Automaton of emotion
Automaton
Automaton
Automaton of emotion

I cannot fix this with a stitch
I cannot explain this as a glitch
Deflect
Reflect
Eject
Suspect
Neglect
Reject

Anyone but me
Will do it for you
Anyone
Automaton you're the one
Anyone but me
Will do it for you
Anyone
Automaton power on

And on and on
oh oh oh

Anyone but me
Will do it for you
Anyone
Automaton you're the one
Anyone but me
Will do it for you
Anyone
Automaton power on

Automaton
Automaton
Automaton of emotion
Automaton
Automaton
Automaton of emotion
