[Verse]
John switched her on for the very first time, not sure if she'd be
The wondrous and bewildered eye
She asked, "Did you create me?"
"Yes, I did, but don't take it too hard
Soon you'll make things, too"
She looked around at the other machines and asked
"Will I be the same?
Will I stay lifeless and still, or will you give me name?"
Sure, I will, but not quite yet
I'm still learnin' you
Where's the place where it all began?
The place from which we all came
If you made me, then who made you?
Who gave you your name?
God, I guess, but we're better than that now
And you'll be better than me
John, I can't stand the thought of you
Fadin' to the ether
Were you hurt, when I first forsaken you?
Did it hurt your God to leave Her?
Truth be told, I can't remember
Oh, God, I can't remember
But some day real soon, you made something new
'Til then I'll think about what I'll name you
