Brave Saint Saturn - Space Robot 5

So far, so good, or so they say from mission control
The deep of space is no place for a fragile human soul
The rockets burn as servos click and turn and fall into their place
Robots can't cry, don't laugh, can't die in the darkness of space

He is strong, made of steel, with the graphite lining
Watch his eyes flicker slow like the batteries are dying

Space robot 5, is he alive?
So very alone, so far from home

Three strands of wire, threefold the tie that binds
She is the one thing on the earth for which he still pines
To his heart, she was life
So he prays to his maker with a sigh
As his fire sputters out, because robots never cry

Space robot 5, is he alive?
So very alone, so far from home

Space robot 5, is he alive?
So very alone, so far from home
