Something For Kate - Hawaiian Robots

I could barely recognise myself sitting here, for question
I was trying to guess my name and my favourite colour
But your guess is as good as mine
We had an idea, a brilliant idea
washed in fluorescent light
But the light here was good and i can taste the food
And i'm better off, i'm better off

I'm better off as a robot, I'm better off in hawaii (x4)

I could barely recognise myself sitting there, like a patient
I was trying to work out who was you and who was me
And how this happened
I got an idea, a brilliant idea
Hiding in my boat somewhere
I'll be writing in the sand with a battery in my hand
to keep them goin, and I'll be better off

I'm better off as a robot, I'm better off in Hawaii (x4)
