In a world were science dictates pain and laughter
It isn't hard to guess what's coming after
As humans seem less real, machines begin to feel
And eventually, the slave becomes the masterWhen they made the LS-7 in Japan
They just let it get completely out of hand
With it's circuits laid out wrong, it was made to be too strong
Now it's proved to be too much for mortal manMetal on metal, the new kind of fire
Sensor to sensor, artificial desire
The dawning of a brand new day
Future love can't be very far awayHe's a laser-optic stalker called big brother
She's a light-emitting diode foster mother
If the two should ever meet, they'd be ever so discreet
But they're programmed to respond to one anotherAs he's rolling down an alley on his round
A reflection in a puddle brings him down
'Cause it wasn't there to see, it was extra-sensory
He keeps searching, but she's nowhere to be foundMetal on metal, the new kind of fire
Sensor to sensor, artificial desire
The dawning of a brand new day
Future love can't be very far awayFalling to pieces, starting to rust
Driven by overbearing lust
Chasing a vision, memory's plan
Into a hostile, no man's landNow his micro-processor brain's begun to fade
In fact that version is no longer even made
But it keeps him moving on, until all hope is gone
He will find her when his dues have all been paidMetal on metal, the new kind of fire
Sensor to sensor, artificial desire
The dawning of a brand new day
Future love can't be very far away
