lyrics
[Policeman]
2043, December 28. The crimescene up in the mansion, where the android sat
Being taken to custody he gazed at his hands, whispering about some faeries and a child's land
In the seat where he's caged, you'll have to sit with him alone, he's no use to us, but I'll put him on the phone
[Al]
My name is Al, I am not man
You hate me now but can't you see
I did this all for their sake
It's all for their sake
It's all for their sake
It's over, I will not run when the lights go-
[Chorus]
(Al Al, what's your alibi)
I'm a slave to the man I hate the most
(Al Al, why are you trying to hide)
There is no justice for what he has done
(Al Al, it's no use to lie)
Even all of the boys are just through with him
(Al Al, what's your alibi)
You'll never hear what I have to say
[Detective]
Listen closely here, Al, to what I'm gonna say
There's been rumors 'bout this man they say that you have slain
I cannot save you if you lie, you're no use to the case
I need some info on this man, and the boys he erased
[Al]
Through choking him, I sold my life
Dark halls lonely walls were all I saw
So turn me off, I will not fight
Even your god cannot save me now
He won't save me now
He won't save me now
So be it, I'll die by hands that created me
[Chorus]
(Al Al, what's your alibi)
I'm a slave to the man I hate the most
(Al Al, why are you trying to hide)
There is no justice for what he has done
(Al Al, it's no use to lie)
Even all of the boys are just through with him
(Al Al, what's your alibi)
You'll never hear what I have to say
[Al]
Scars on my hands depict the truth
I am but a flaw in the programming
Caught in the act, all that I had
The little boys that all ran away
They all ran away
They all ran away
So be it, I'll die protecting who I loved
[Detective]
They didn't love you, Al, they used you like a pawn
Ballistics positive he struggled and scratched up their arms
We know the kids have run, they're never coming back
Your master's gone and now you've got one task left to attack
You say you choked him right? You say that this was your fault
You smeared your hands on his neck, erased the fingerprints
But we have seen the truth, the tissues underneath his nails
The thing with Androids is that, they don't have DNA.
[Chorus]
I'm part of a family who I love
There is no justice for what he has done
Even the family cannot take his rage
You'll never feel what I have to take
[Al]
My name is Al, I am not man
You hate me now but can't you see
I did this all for their sake
It's all for their sake
It's all for their sake
It's over, I will not run when-

Circus is a music machine who's put out tons of amazing tracks since 715, but this is still my favourite of his albums by far. I still don't know how he got Len's English to sound so emotional and powerful on Poltergeist, but on that and every track Circus showcases why he is the king of English vocalsynth tuning wondersmith_39
