A song about transferring consciousness to a robot host. Vocoders, drums, bass and synths.

lyrics

ME:
Pity was all I got
All of my things were gone
On the streets
What has become of me?
2060
But then things changed around
Fortune smiled down on me
Suddenly, I can live forever now

THEM:
We just transfer your mind
Into this other kind
Have no fear
We do it all the time
2060
Give us your signature
Write it here nice and clear
Do not fear
You will wake up brand new

ME:
Moving my mind
From my head to his
Machine body
Living for aeons
With my thoughts and soul
Never dying

THEM:
Final procedure done
Check new brain function
Switching on
Memories all across
Open your eyes, Sir

ME:
Wait I can see a face
Robotic human gaze
Sitting there
Shouldn't I be in there?

THEM:
Can you hear me?

HIM:
Yes I can, is it done?

ME:
He's using my voice
I'm still here

THEM:
Shutting down life support
You won't be needing this body anymore, Sir
Welcome to the rest of eternity

ME:
Moving my mind
From my head to his
Machine body
Please don't pull the plug
He thinks it worked
He thinks he's me
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

HIM:
Feeling very strange
But I can get used to it
What did I worry for?
I am who I've always been
Here in my immortal machine body
