Prom Night 2208

Prom Night 2208
 The leisure deck of Starship Zircon-4 is looking great
 And yeah, my mom set up my date
 Tess is Gamma Class Elite
 A recon droid who transferred here last month from Echo Fleet
 Mom said, "Now, Kyle, you be sweet"
 Prom night 2208
 My date is weird and human, but hey, prom! I still can't wait
 I know that he's in love with Kate
 Makes sense, Kate is pretty cute
 The human males all seem to like her, Kyle followed suit
 He and I just don't compute
 Yeah, she knows it's just a friend thing
 Read the signals that he's sending
 And it's clear our core directives don't align
 So I'll give in to compunction
 Run this routine social function
 And this automated evening will be fine
 Yeah, this automated evening will be fine
 Quick pose!
 Holo-vid, then schmooze
 Jason used a cloaking ray to smuggle in some booze
 I like your earrings
 I like your shoes
 Food's here!
 Have some BioPaste
 Let me switch my flavor sensors on and have a taste
 Hey, this evening's not a waste
 Dinner's over, time for dancing
 So we do, and then I'm glancing
 Up and seeing my reflection in your face
 And I feel like I could zoom in
 And see all of being human
 As we sway together here in outer space
 Oh, we sway together here in outer space
 A tap on my shoulder breaks the trance
 Kate!
 Kate...
 Wants to borrow me for just one dance
 Okay?
 Okay...
 Thanks, Tess
 Here's my big chance
 Here's my big chance
 And I know it was a friend thing
 So there's no use in pretending
 I just grab my backup charger and I go
 He doesn't want me with him
 I don't fit his algorithm
 I don't need to run the numbers, I just know
 My cheek in her hair
 (Screw being human)
 My hands on her dress
 (Screw being human)
 Kate pulls me close
 (Screw being human)
 And I think of Tess
 I think of Tess
 I think of Tess
 Tess
 And I'm sprinting like a moron
 Through the Starship Zircon-4 on
 Shaky legs until I reach the hangar bay
 And I'm praying it's not empty
 And you'll be there and you'll tempt me
 Into saying everything I want to say
 Into saying everything I want to say
 Prom night
 2208
 I wanted one more dance with you, I hope I'm not too late
 Ask me, I won't hesitate
 One dance, then you can hit the brakes
 You shouldn't fall for me, 'cause humans all are lousy flakes
 Kyle,(yeah?)
 I'm a robot
 I don't make mistakes
 I don't make mistakes
