Nora 364

She's Nora 364, available now in stores everywhere
guaranteed to greet with sweet smiles and a soft stare
somewhere in the aisles between toys and hardware
come down to customer service and pull up a chair
so you can pick out her features and custom software
Then forget your ex-girlfriend, bride, deceased wife
she'll stay by your side for the rest of your life
She's Nora 364, available now in stores everywhere.
-Clockwork construction of words works it's way
 through the gears of it's fears and the strings of it's life
 dressed like a store window mannequin, smelling like a new toy
 moves like an android trying to avoid what it is -
I'll say it again if I haven't before
upon your command she'll perform any chore
cook your dinner, clean the dishes, then vacuum the floor
and upon your demand she's your personal whore
She's Nora 364, available now in stores everywhere
-I woke in the night as a nightmare still bloomed
 rose from the bed and walked out from the room
 into the hallway, I faintly recall
 the feeling of falling, slowing me, stalling me
 There she stands and she stares at the foot of the stairs
 smiling so sweetly, but I don't think she cares
 and her eyes will not move from me.
-"What do you want, Nora?"
"I'll do whatever you want me to do."
-"Anything, Nora, I'll do anything for you. just tell me what you want."
"I want what ever you want me to do."
-"No, Nora, what do YOU want."
silence and her eyes will not move from me
I tried to find the key to her heart
I couldn't find it so I took her apart
nothing inside her, no soul, no inner core
and still she stares at me just as before
on the floor with the garbage at the front door
pieces of plastic I don't want anymore
new acquisition of my new diseased life
the mirror reflection of my decomposed wife
and their eyes will not move from me
