Lyrics: Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto Mata au hi made Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto Himitsu wo shiri tai You're wondering who I am (secret secret I've got a secret) Machine or mannequin (secret secret I've got a secret) With parts made in Japan (secret secret I've got a secret) I am the modern man I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide To keep me alive, just keep me alive Somewhere to hide, to keep me alive I'm not a robot without emotions. I'm not what you see I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free I'm not a hero, I'm not the savior, forget what you know I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control Beyond my control. We all need control I need control. We all need control I am the modern man (secret secret I've got a secret) Who hides behind a mask (secret secret I've got a secret) So no one else can see (secret secret I've got a secret) My true identity Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For doing the jobs that nobody wants to And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For helping me escape just when I needed to Thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you, please, thank you The problem's plain to see: Too much technology Machines to save our lives Machines dehumanize The time has come at last (secret secret I've got a secret) To throw away this mask (secret secret I've got a secret) Now everyone can see (secret secret I've got a secret) My true identity... I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I'm sailing away Set an open course for the Virgin Sea 'Cause I've got to be free Free to face the life that's ahead of me [Refrain] On board I'm the captain So climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow On every shore And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try To carry on [Verse 2] I look to the sea Reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had [Refrain] We lived happily forever So the story goes But somehow we missed out On the pot of gold But we'll try best that we can To carry on [Pre-Chorus] A gathering of angels Appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope And this is what they said [Chorus] They said, "Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me, lads Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me, babe Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me" [Instrumental Break 03:20-04:41] [Keyboard Solo] [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] I thought that they were angels But to my surprise We climbed aboard their starship We headed for the skies [Chorus/Outro] Come sail away, come sail away Come sail with me, lads Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me
