"I'm On Standby" lyrics

"I'm On Standby"

I'm rolling down a well-worn road
I'm wondering if I'll ever know
If I'll be better than I was before
When I surface through the service door

Bye
I'm on standby
Out of order or sort of unaligned
Powered down for redesign
Bye bye
I'm on standby
According to the work order that you signed, I'll be down for some time
I'll be down for some time

I got good at saying "I gotta go"
Number one at saying "I don't know"
But from the stories that I heard
You humans require more words

Bye
I'm on standby
Out of order or sort of unaligned, powered down for redesign
Bye bye
I'm on standby
According to the work order that you signed, I'll be down for some time
I'll be down for some time
