lyrics

Olympia was her name-with a pliable polymer frame
The cutting edge of design-the most promising of artificial minds
A companion without a need who would follow my every lead
And would always-always believe in me
Someone to understand-to share a life
Someone to help with journey that I'm on
Somebody who's always on hand-the perfect wife
A supermodel automaton-she's more than an automaton
About the third week or so I started to lose control
Olympia made demands just like anything else that is sentient
She figured out my deepest flaws-she wound me up like a machine
She would not be my toy-I'd be her human being
Someone to understand-and share a life
Someone to help with the journey that she's on
Not really the future I'd planned-an uphill climb
A high maintenance automaton-she's much more than an automaton
Why didn't I shut her down and why is she still around?
I guess I started to feel something toggled in my own programming
And when I think about what I've done and even more about what I have not
I seek forgiveness from Olympia
I'm learning to understand-to share a life
I finally see how I got it all wrong
I'm learning to become a man-with open eyes
And a man needs something more than just an automaton-much more than an automaton
Olympia
