his steely skin is covered
by centuries of dust
once he was a great one
but now he's dull and rust
an oily tear he's crying
can you feel the pain
of the sad sad robot
driving him insane
he can't turn back time nor history
so his life became a misery
he has to face his destiny
nobody cares anymore
he's a sad sad robot
he's a sad sad robot
he's a sad sad robot
he's all alone
my steely skin is covered
by centuries of dust
once i was a great one
but now i'm dull and rust
an oily tear i'm crying
can you feel me pain
i'm the sad sad robot
it's driving me insane
i can't turn back time nor history
so me life became a misery
i have to face me destiny
that i'm all on me own
i'm a sad sad robot
i'm a sad sad robot
i'm a sad sad robot
i'm all alone
i'm a red red robot
i'm a red red robot
i'm a red red robot
and so i shall return

i see trouble
on my way
through deepest dungeons
far away
from my home
now that i'm in danger
now that evil will arise
take me, hold me, show me
the bonus points
the golden coins
i need an extra life
i need an extra life
jumpin' runnin'
through an unreal land
hiding, firing
i can't stand
the evil all alone
so all alone
now that i'm in danger
now that evil will arise
take me, hold me, show me
the bonus points
the golden coins
i need an extra life
i need an extra life

sometimes i fear the reaper
sometimes i'm afraid to die
i think it's hard to leave my loved one
i think it's hard to say good-bye
don't you ever go my darling
don't you walk into the light
why can't we be forever
together forever united
and i will never let you go
and so won't you leave me alone again and crying
side by side we walk into the light
stay with me beyond the end of time
so don't you worry fuzzy darling
calm down an' don't you get a fright
i swear to you, i promise
that ev'rything will be alright
the sun is low, the days are over
say hello to the cold and friendly night
we laugh and sing and dance together
into the morning light
no longer i fear the reaper
no longer i'm afraid to die
you swore to me, you promised
that ev’rything will be alright
you'll be forever with me
and walk the final journey
you'll kiss me just like honey
we rest in peace for all eternity

ev'ry time i take a look
at the people all around me
they seem to be
at least to me
like the undead walk on earth
ev'ry step that i take
ev'ry movement that i make
i feel that i'm in danger
i feel that i'm the stranger
a stranger in a strange, strange world
space invaders - i will never gonna shot you
come along
space invaders - i will never gonna shot you
where are you from?
where do i belong?
can you take me home?
all you people take a look
at me i'm the alien
from outer space
see it in my face
your solar system just ain't mine
and ev'rywhere you people go
devastation and destruction
it ain't my game
completely insane
so your game is over now
space invaders - i will never gonna shot you
come along
space invaders - i will never gonna shot you
where are you from?
where do i belong?
can you take me home?

deep deep down
deep down inside
there's an error in my mind
i need need one
i need someone
to control the things inside
operator, i need an exit
operator get me out of here
can't you see
i don't want to be
i don't wanna be controlled by fear
i want to be a machine
checking all my systems on a 7 inch tft screen
listen to me, listen to me, listen to me
can't you see
that i wanna be, i wanna wanna be a machine

in my life ain’t got no good girl
evil women track me down
in my life all these bad bad women they left me on my own
so is it just the same old question?
nothing has changed
always the same
are you one more strange attraction that i‘m asking once again?
is it just another single or a two player game?
may i insert a coin for you?
would you like to spend three lives with me?
would you like to join me through my life?
day after day i am tired
i am lonely
i’m feeling blue
night after night i am sleepless
because i’m waiting just for you

game over

she has taken all my money
she has taken all my lives
she gave me good times
she gave me bad times
and then she gave me her good-bye
there’s no heart inside of her
she is just a slot machine
the most cold heart evil zombie bitch that i have ever seen
the game is over
i'm not her lover
i'm not her lover anymore
she said sorry as she told me that i’m not even in her highscore
forever and ever no more together
such a vain endeavor in this game called love
no more lives
no more doubt
the game is over
over and out
now i'm scattered
now i'm broken
i can’t take it anymore
i ain’t nuthin’ but the shadow
of the man that i was before
and so i beg for mercy
for an extraball to play
one more life
only one more life
to face the trouble on my way
now all the players getting ready
even though there’s no way to win
they feed the slot machines with tokens
but they can’t fill the void within

it’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock’n’roll
but the house is still on fire and the crowd out of control
rock’n’roll music that‘s the way we choose it
lovely little ladies screaming when we’re on the scene
and so again and again we’re playing this game
we wanna see our name in the rock’n’roll hall of fame
playing guitar, playing a gameboy
for the rock’n’roll hall of fame
so who can’t get no satisfaction when you need it deep inside?
we keep you rock’n’rollin’, roll’n’rockin’ through the night
cos i’m a rock’n’roll preacher, ain’t a sunday-school teacher
i’m walking in the shadow of the hard’n’rockin’ blues
and so again and again we’re playing this game
we wanna see our name in the rock’n’roll hall of fame
i want mirrors on the ceiling and pink champagne on ice
just another fucking day for you and me in paradise
give me an oldschool guitar, an 8-bit low-fi pornstar
i promise that i take you to the paradise in hell
and so again and again we’re playing this game
we wanna see our name in the rock’n’roll hall of fame

One day I came across this title on YouTube and it intrigued me. The nostalgy hit me so much that I went back on IRC in 2019. Thanks to that, I met my girlfriend after being single for 15 years, and moved to a new town 6 hours away from me. All of that because of a click on that song. Music has the power to change people's life and this track is my personal proof of that fact.
