Parody of Automaton by Jamiroquai

[Drassil]

Normally I let songs mature for a decade or three before rewriting them. But not this time. Here is a parody of Jamiroquai's week-old single Automaton. Video, lyrics

Am I near?

Every heart is stirring

You're all fear

Can't you hear me whirring?

Take my hand

Cold like Aesandre

I'm an mindless man

I'm a mindless

Why am I coming for you?

And this man called Edmund Dehn

Has given away to my threat of doom

I put my faith in a chromakey world

Where they've given me

Blue without a room

I'll keep the teams from silver spurs

Remind myself I am someone

My soul is numb and while I whirr

I'm Automatum

I'm so tough

Can't you see me walking

See I can touch

Can you feel me stalking?

I see the kids

Who try for squiredom

These metal eyes, they can't disguise

The fact that I

I've instructions to be lethal

That's why I'm coming for you

I'm standing by: levels one and two

I've taken up a deadly flail

Treguard will be dismissing you

If I make your quest fail

And it won't help, with your helmet on

To tilt your head back when I come

With friends who see, you must avoid

The Automatum

Automatum...

Hey, I'm mostly down underground

Sometimes out on that chasm bridge

You barely have time to take that crown

Automatum

While you're a mess of flesh, I am only clockwork

Got efficient moves (they're mainly shock jerks)

Pretty cool android, but can not twerk

An-an-an-achronism

Automatum

It's a fantasy world...

Then came the day I fell to Earth

And though I cannot feel disgust

I rue the day when a castle room that's windowless

Saw the casting of a spell called RUST

Maybe this dream will stay alive

A technomancer may still come

Or a new threat, mechanical

New Automatum...

You know I need someone

That I can bludgeon

In the dungeon

It was all I knew

I'm Automatum

I have orders

To be quite kindless

I'm mindless

I am cogs and screws

I'm Automatum
