Artificial - Martha Tilston

I don’t awake

I’m just sleep rising

I put on my clothes

Sleep gliding

Onto the bus

Sleep riding to work again

To work again

Swiping the door

Sleep lifting

Up to my floor

Sleep drifting

A number twenty-four

White coffee with a sweetener

A sweetener

This artificial me

I’d like to show you what I really could be

I’d like to run across the office tables

Singing «No you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

And I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea»

I switch on my machine

Sleep typing

I answer the phone

Sleep hyping

Am I alone?

I don’t really know what I’m selling

I’m selling

And the boss wants a word

I’ve been daydreaming

Boss wants a word

Clockwatching

I wish I was a bird

I’d fly right out of the window

The window

This artificial me

I’d like to show you what I really could be

I’d like to run across the office tables

Singing «No you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

And I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea»

I don’t awake

I’m just sleep rising

I put on my clothes

Sleep gliding

Onto the bus

Sleep riding to work again

Swiping the door

Sleep lifting

Up to my floor

Sleep dritfing

A number twenty-four

White coffee with a sweetener

A sweetener

This artificial me

One day I’ll show you what I really can be

And I’ll run across the office tables

Singing «No you didn’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

No, no you won’t have me

I’m not your company policy

A little more humanity please

I’m not the company policy

A little more humanity

I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea

And I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea

And I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea

And I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea

And I’ll keep running 'til I reach the sea"
