"playing for keeps" lyrics

"playing for keeps"

Cold-blooded lies are making my wires weak
Rust on my iron cheek
The sound of static please
It's no surprise that you took these parts from me
When there's no heart to beat
Melt down what you don't need

And you know you can't make me bleed
But rust tastes just like blood to me
It's hard-coded in me
Hope you would set me free
And you know you can't make me bleed
But rust tastes just like blood to me
It's hard-coded in me
Hope you would set me free

You're playing for keeps
You're playing for free
You're playing with me
And now I don't look the same way

Steam splits the sides
Covering all that gleams
Mechanical comedy
In the box you made just for me

And you know you can't make me bleed
But rust tastes just like blood to me
It's hard-coded in me
Hope you would set me free
And you know you can't make me bleed
But rust tastes just like blood to me
It's hard-coded in me
Hope you would set me free

You're playing for keeps
Assembly complete
You're fraying with greed
The iron is wrought to display and delete

You'll say, "Everyone step up and see
The love machine made to agree
It's hardwired to please
And it's made just for me"

And you know you can't make me bleed
But rust tastes just like blood to me
It's hard-coded in me
Hope you would set me free
You're playing for keeps
